Alumni Testimonials
Aoife Stokes
MD, Cable Rock Pictures | Board Member
"I chose the Diploma in Digital Transformation and Innovation to better understand the practical use of digital and data in the workplace, including AI, and to learn best practice for implementing change in this area. The course was excellent. It gave a comprehensive overview of use cases for new digital technologies, including AI, but also focused on implementing transformation both with teams on the ground and executive teams. This included everything from world class guest speakers to practical matrixes for planning digital transformation to investment frameworks. I feel much better equipped engaging with data, digital technologies and transformation, but more importantly, gained a key understanding of how this is ultimately all about people, collaboration and guiding organisations through change."
Trevor Coyle
Chief Technology Officer (CTO), SENTRIX
The Diploma in Digital Innovation and Transformation at UCD Smurfit has been genuinely transformative for me as a technology leader. It's helped bridge the gap between strategy and execution, giving me the tools to align digital innovation with measurable business outcomes. As CTO of a growing IT managed services provider, the programme challenged me to rethink how we approach transformation, from internal operations to the services we deliver to clients. The mix of academic insight and real-world case studies made it immediately applicable and highly impactful.
It’s an exceptional programme for any technology or business leader looking to translate innovation into growth and to lead meaningful change.
