The urgent need for digital transformation is more apparent than ever. Even before COVID-19, 92 percent of companies believed digitization would disrupt their business model. Now, executives are working at a dramatically accelerated pace to build tech-enabled businesses to serve their customers and remain competitive. Companies have invested heavily in software development, data science, and cloud technologies in recent years, but now, they need to train their workers to take full advantage of these tools. Please join leaders from Coursera and Nokia for a discussion about a new kind of online learning called Guided Projects. These short, hands-on projects teach applied skills using real-world software tools. We’ll explore how Guided Projects can drive successful digital transformation and how Nokia is using this approach to upskill their technical teams.

The Internet of Things and all the associated devices generate an exponential amount of data and locked inside this data are the answers to endless business, medical, financial, and social challenges. What Steve finds most satisfying is the collaborative process by which a data challenge is uncovered and how data discoveries and insights can be used to change business operations and strategies.
