    • Building political support internally and externally for digital reforms
    • Evidencing return on investment

    The Executive Programme is provided by managers, technical experts, and thought leaders from a range of institutions, including world class technology and consulting firms, universities, think tanks, governments, and international financial institutions. 

    The Programme reflects the insights from digital transformation in developing countries, emerging markets, and advanced economies across all continents - and is offered as a fast-paced virtual executive programme that can be taken alongside existing work duties.

  • The Programme is aimed at governments committed to advancing digital transformation of their taxation system. Participants are nominated by governments – individual applications are not accepted. Participants are proven individuals who are central to the strategic and managerial transformation of the taxation system. Members of oversight boards, heads of business units in tax administrations, and senior policy advisors in Ministries of Finance are all ideal candidates involved in transformation.

    Participants should have a solid understanding of the national revenue strategy, key business processes in the administration of taxes, and the working of HR, procurement, IT, and other support functions as well as a broad view on digital transformation as it impacts, people, process, technology, data and law.

    Participants are expected to undertake significant course work during the Programme but will be able to maintain their current position. Course will be conducted in English. A core element of the Programme is case based training that enables participants to understand and evaluate options at critical decision points in the digital transformation process.
