To support European companies in successful twin transformation, the overall goal of our project is to design a new and innovative joint Master programme in Agile Transformation Management (4 semesters long, 120 ECTS, joint degree, fully taught in English). Its alumni will become architects of sustainability and digital transformation in organizations. They should possess a holistic perspective about how digitalization and sustainability affect organizations, excel at strategic thinking and change management processes. They should also possess hard technical skills in the areas of digitalization and sustainability, and an agile mindset to embrace change. To achieve this overall goal, universities in three European countries (Austria, Finland and Latvia) and three universities in associated third countries (Israel, Mexico and Hong Kong/China) join forces. Such consortium enables these future change agents to profit from regional expertise (e.g., circular economy and sustainable design, agile innovation management or smart manufacturing systems) and gives students an opportunity to expand their worldview through experiencing different cultures. The project follows the standards for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes in the EHEA. Aspects of learning outcomes & study programmes, clarification of admission and recognition processes, and student support systems, etc. will be analysed and developed with the aim to seek accreditation of the program at AQ Austria following the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes. The project contributes to Europe’s fight against climate change and drives the digital transformation through development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity. It also strengthens and fosters partnerships among the consortium partners, increases their internationalization and competitiveness, and offers students a unique opportunity to start an interesting career path as agile transformation managers.
