Our Flagship Course:

The Best Digital Business Models Today

Today’s business world is increasingly dominated by digital technology. Not only are the fastest-growing companies digital but traditional companies also allocate their largest R&D funds to build new digital capabilities.

This is the only elite-university-level course online solely focused on Digital Business Models that will save you the big tuition. We will take you from the foundations to expert-level with our innovative and unique course framework.

Purchased & acclaimed by Business School Professors, Founders, CIOs, MBAs and many other super-smart people!

Purpose-built Course Architecture

Built on the three educational pillars of (1) business model elements, (2) underlying strategic concepts and (3) carefully selected examples and combined for effective learning.

Laser-focused Knowledge

20 Submodules focusing on topics relevant to Digital Business Models with learning objectives clearly shown and delivered via a (1) theory part, (2) tailored examples and (3) extensive course materials.

Unique Educational Approach

We use longitudinal examples through several modules to (1) build real-world examples and (2) explain the links between the theory aspects. 

Real-world Value

The careful curation of (1) very deep and (2) shorter examples split into the crucial biz models & approaches within each vertical ensures what you learn can be transferred to thousands of digital firms.

What you will get

Our commitment to providing you with an online course on par with elite-uni-grade education also pertains to the structure and materials of the course. Here’s more:

  • Depending on your level of pre-knowledge it will take 40-80 hours to work through the course. This is about 1 semester at the uni.

    That said, you can choose your own pathways through the course. We know that some of our students work through the videos and reading material first. This path takes around 20 hours and can be done within a week (or even a single, epiphanical weekend of study). We do love hearing these stories!

    In a second iteration, you could work through the exercises. We are giving you solutions for all exercises which are gradually getting more complex. Just the exercises + solutions are a nice 200+ page resource in themselves. Who else gives you something so extensive?

  • Guess what? If you take an elite on-campus course, you’re not only up for 1,000s of dollars in tuition but also textbooks of several $100s in addition.

    We will give you all 800 slides that the course is made of as downloadable materials ($100s saved!). Here's more:

    • You will get all materials as PDFs to use in your favourite note-taking app and

    • As a .doc MS Word document to take notes in Word with space provided for this

    • You will also get all 200 pages of exercise + solutions - also included in the price (another $100-$200 saved).

    This all is included in the course fee!

  • The course content is delivered in 12 hours of videos + 45 exclusive reading resources.

    6 hours of the course content is theory covering the 20 topics (business model elements + underlying strategic concepts). All of this is laser-focused on digital business models. 

    Another 6 hours cover examples of digital business models.

    All content is super-concise. We have fully scripted all videos so that it has 3-5x the knowledge density that you find in the ordinary course videos elsewhere (including - ironically - elite universities). The videos use the 800 course slide - no hapless blackboard scribbling. There’s zero bloat content (e.g. interviews or non-digital biz model content). 

    The design of the course materials is based on my experience of 8 years as a university lecturer and assistant professor.

Course Comparison

This is literally the only course that is (a) focused on digital business models only, (b) of a worthy length for the complexity and gravity of the subject, (c) on top-uni-grade and (d) delivered online (=directly accessible online).

  • Firstly, there are not many online courses that focus on digital business models only.

    In the table below we have compared the 5 most popular courses most related to digital biz models. You can verify the comparison below for yourself or do your own research.

    The upshot is: there is some university content online but it is their entry-level content. They try to use this as ancillary revenue and as a marketing funnel. Their prime content is delivered on-campus where they make a lot more money and don't have to share revenue with the online platforms.

    Most others mix their digital business model content with knowledge on traditional industries or other business management content.

    Digital business models are a complex topic that you can't mix with other content unless you make it a much longer course (100+ hours).

    That is why we are continuing to say that we are laser-focused on (a) Digital Technology and (b) Business Models and (c) NOTHING ELSE.

  • In the online space, entry-level wide content is far more lucrative as it can be scaled to millions of learners.

    And the same applies to providing generic concepts rather than those applicable to digital businesses only.

Your Certificates & Badges

The enduring knowledge you gain is the main benefit of the course.

But in addition get your digitally verified credential "Certified Digital Business Model Expert" upon completion. You will get a certificate and a badge that you can display on LinkedIn (electronically integrated) and use various sharing features for your employer on your profiles or your digital credentials wallet.

1 Final Certificate & Badge + 6 Micro credentials (1 per major module). All will be digitally verified!
