Our take

Based on the ratings of 53,755 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in October 2024. No course pays to be reviewed.

Mike Connor, who runs an insurance innovation outpost in Silicon Valley, built this as a management course, not a technical one. It walks through eight phases of a transformation program, from building a core team and assessing the market to scaling a digital culture, with AI as the backdrop. It is 4.5 hours across 13 lectures in two sections, with one quiz and no hands-on work. The audience is people leading or contributing to a company strategy. It was last updated in October 2024, so the AI material is about two years old.

Students rate it 4.5 across more than 53,000 reviews, and about half of those are five stars. Happy reviewers call the material well structured and easy to follow, and one likes that a simulation carries through every phase. The complaints are consistent. Reviewers find it repetitive, with modules sharing similar goals, and several say the delivery is monotone and read from a script. One says the final lecture has about two minutes of content stretched over 14. A reviewer from defense acquisition found it a poor fit for that setting.

At 4.5 hours it is a long sit for material one reviewer says could fit in an hour, and another suggests it suits students more than busy full-time workers. It is paid and comes with a certificate. It makes sense for a manager about to build a transformation plan who wants a checklist of phases to work through. Skip it if you want technical depth, industry-specific cases, or a lively presenter.

Best forManagers and program leads who need a phased strategy roadmap for a company-wide digital transformation, not tool training.

Skip it ifYou want hands-on AI or software skills, or only have an hour to spare for a quick overview.

Pros

Eight clear phases, from team building to scaling culture, give a usable order of work
A simulation runs through every phase, which one reviewer found helpful for seeing it applied
Reviewers call the material well structured and easy to follow
Rated 4.5 across 53,755 reviews, with about half giving five stars

Cons

Repetitive: reviewers say modules share similar goals and keep recycling the same buzzwords
Scripted, monotone delivery that several low-star reviewers found hard to stay engaged with
Long for what it covers, and the final 14 minute lecture reportedly has little in it

Simple and structured. Use of a simulation across all phases will be very useful. Thanks

Marked intermediate, but really for managers with some strategy or program experience. No technical background needed.

Yes I like good overviews. Going into the weeds is fun, but you do need to know where you're going.

This course has been helpful in enhancing my knowledge of digital transformation and the steps involved in it.

By Letra Delphinus on 2/12/2026

Because the scope of this course seems significantly to me as it brings understanding and awareness on the key things to consider, objectives and impacts of digital transformation. As i am in a place of meeting customers every day it shows me on its impacts towards customer expectation.

By Yvrose Pierre Lamothe on 2/4/2026

The course is very engaged. I would recommend this course for a student not a worker. The course is 4:50 ming long, which is very long for someone who also have a full time job with responsibilities. I believe the quiz could be taken in 3 segments instead at the end due to the amount of information to digest before getting to the the quiz most will not remember all this information. Otherwise, it has good information and learning opportunities.

Thank you for this course. You created comprehensive, well structured, easy to follow material. The presentation was perfect.

Contenido muy interesante, pero es un curso muy largo y pareciera que management de mi grupo no ha visto y menos implementado esto

By Anonymized User on 1/5/2026

The company is in the middle of the digital transformation in many areas, as auditor, it's important to know the impact and process that needs to be followed in order to get better results.

By Syed Arbab Ahmed on 12/8/2025

Shorter quizzes can be more engaging, also some topics become too boring for me due to length.

By Ashokkumar Kurup on 11/28/2025

It was a good course. It covered the aspects of planning and executing a Digital Transformation within the organization with AI as key ingredient. However, typically for organizations, this can be a large undertaking and ability to transition from a non AI to an AI-led Digital culture will take time. A discussion with few leaders or cases where companies have done this would help put this in perspective.
