ICT Design and Management
As digitalization is ongoing, ICT is an integral part of any organization. But what really makes the difference is how capable an organization is to design and manage ICT solutions. How to design ICT services that help organizations create and capture value? How to design the underlying platforms and architectures? These are the core issues dealt with in this elective package.
For whom?
For 2nd year MSc students who are concerned about ICT design and management.
Additional information
This elective package is not accessible for COSEM students in the I&C track since it contains overlap with the track courses.
What will you learn?
Students will be provided with knowledge and capabilities to design and manage ICT artefacts in organizations. They are expected to translate new innovative ICT applications to organizational opportunities, like what to do with blockchain, Internet-of-things or digital platforms from a business perspective.
You also learn to design and manage information systems and architectures so that organizations can exchange data. We combine technology know-how with management and organization know-how, specifically oriented towards ICT companies that collaborate in a multi actor environment.
Job perspectives
We educate students to become ICT-managers, ICT-architects, high-tech entrepreneurs and consultants. To understand and to be able to design and manage ICT, both on an organizational and engineering level, within (ICT) organizations. More general managers basically lack this know-how and are not able to make use of all the opportunities ICT offers.
Education methods
The education methods differ per course. See the study guide for detailed information.
Course overview
Note: All courses will be given in English.
Mandatory courses:
-
Creating value with ICT typically requires organizations to collaborate in ecosystems of both public and private actors. Doing so involves designing architectures that interconnect legacy systems and processes. This course focuses on designing I&C architectures for organizations in ecosystems, with attention for the technical architecture and organizational processes.
-
Designing ICT service is far from trivial, as the interests of users and other stakeholders need to be addressed. In this course, you learn how to design ICT applications that meet user needs as well as an underlying valorization plan to bring that application to the market. We give attention to design, technology and stakeholder involvement. We focus on mobile applications. During the course, students are challenged to apply these insights by designing an innovative mobile service concept including a mock-up and valorization plan.
-
In this course, you apply concepts of entrepreneurship to digital businesses. You analyse cases and business plans on digital enterprises. Whereas SEN1622 focuses on creating and designing valorization plans, this course is focused on analysing existing initiatives.
