Digital Masterclass 2023

This course is aimed at independent consultants, IT coaches, digital business advisors, software architects and external CIOs who focus on SMEs, family businesses and non-profits between 25-1000.

Wegens het succes van onze vorige edities (2019 – 2022), hebben we beslist een vierde editie te lanceren.

No boring theoretical training!

We work together with real customers, real cases, real team issues and Enterprise Architecture designs.

Throughout the training, Olivier Mangelschots shares the ODUM.digital methodology that he has built up over the years and successfully applies to various companies.

Testimonial

Luc Smet
Luc Smet, Independent Management Consultant

The ODUM.digital Masterclass is ideal for experienced all-round IT professionals who have the ambition to grow into a trusted & skilled digital coach for business leaders of SMEs. The dynamics of this Masterclass is quite unique. Both the trainer and the participants are self-employed people who share experiences, who connect practice with theory, who have both feet in the field and who do not lose sight of the commercial aspect. Each participant is committed to working together in an atmosphere of trust, without hidden agendas, so that we can really learn from each other's insights and experiences. Participants must be prepared to look beyond just the IT-technical aspect and must have a strong interest in the total business story. After all, a digital coach focuses on the right IT solutions with the aim of improving one or more aspects of the customer's business, and good business insight is necessary for this. I am a participant of the very first ODUM.digital Masterclass and I am quite happy about that! Looking back on this Masterclass, I can say that it was more than worth the investment in time and money. Olivier succeeds in transferring his experience and approach to the group and makes you think about how to position yourself as a consultant. It is not a non-binding “course”, you really have to get started with it. But at the end of the ride you really learned something and you got to know some cool people better!
