Digital understanding for business managers
Short modules for non-IT professionals in business that provide a conceptual understanding of trending and emerging technology.
Organizations are increasingly exposed to a dynamic and fast-paced technological landscape. Service providers and consultants, the media, and policymakers are constantly promoting and discussing emerging technologies that have the potential to have a significant – and systemic – impact on our economies and societies. As individuals and employees, we must be aware of which technologies are likely to have the greatest impact, as well as the underlying concepts and potential of these technologies. This will keep us informed and allow our organizations to make more informed decisions.
ICDL Insights provides overview modules that are contextualized in a practical way to address the need for current and future business managers to develop an understanding of trending and emerging technology. These brief introductory modules provide the conceptual understanding required for managers who are not IT professionals to consider the potential of technology and engage in informed discussions with IT professionals or specialists.
ICDL Insights includes a number of modules that can be combined with other ICDL modules to create a one-of-a-kind ICDL Profile. Each module's syllabus content is supported by high-quality elearning materials that establish core concepts, provide practical examples of implementation, and opportunities for reflection. This learning, when combined with a short certification test, can provide an excellent opportunity to develop relevant competencies for future career development or to contribute to continuous professional development.

Instead of using local servers or computers, the Cloud Computing module introduces the use of Internet-connected remote servers to store, manage, and process data.
Cloud computing and cloud services are becoming increasingly popular technologies used by businesses to increase flexibility, efficiency, and innovation. Many job roles in a variety of industries require knowledge of the potential of these technologies, as well as the benefits and challenges associated with their adoption.
The Internet of Things (IoT) module introduces the Internet of Things, which extends Internet connectivity from computers and related devices to other physical devices or common objects and makes use of technologies like embedded systems, wireless sensors, and automation.
The scale of the Internet of Things has increased dramatically in recent years. The proliferation of Internet-connected devices is making homes, offices, factories, and entire cities "smart."
The AI module introduces the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is a type of intelligence demonstrated by machines in which the machine perceives its environment and takes actions to maximize the likelihood of achieving specified goals.
This module will introduce key concepts, illustrate them with examples, and discuss their implications and potential for business and organizations.
The Big Data module defines the term "Big Data," which refers to a massive volume of both structured and unstructured data that is difficult to process using traditional techniques.
Big Data is important not because of the volume of data, but because of what you do with it and how you use it to benefit your organization. Big Data technologies can help businesses increase efficiencies and develop new data-driven services.
The Industry 4.0 module explains the potential of Industry 4.0, a term that refers to the trend toward automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes.
Cyberphysical systems (CPS), the internet of things (IoT), the industrial internet of things (IIoT), cloud computing, cognitive computing, and artificial intelligence are examples of these technologies.
The Blockchain module demonstrates the power of Blockchain technology, which consists of a collection of records ("blocks") that are linked using cryptography, are resistant to modification, and can function as a public distributed ledger.
Blockchain is an especially promising and revolutionary technology for businesses and organizations because it reduces risk, eliminates fraud, and increases transparency in a scalable manner for a wide range of applications.
