Overview
The MBA “Transformation in Bureaucracies” at the German University of Digital Science (German UDS) is designed to provide executives and decision-makers who work at transitioning administrations by innovation and creativity to organizations providing novel solutions at scale through collaborative methods to deliver value based impact to citizen. Such organizations have a “Yes, if” culture instead of “No, because”, are learning organizations and are named “Creative Bureaucracies.”
The program establishes a connection between advanced design thinking, creativity and innovation methods, and practical managerial tools for strategy, compliance, and governance in organizations undergoing a system change.
The curriculum is meticulously designed to integrate the fundamental domains of bureaucracies, encompassing areas such as regulations, law, HR or procurement. This integration is achieved through a systematic approach, ensuring a cohesive and practice-oriented educational experience.
The central ambition of this endeavor is not merely to impart isolated legal rules for novel services or single administrations, but rather to cultivate a systemic change of the way administrative tasks and opportunities in the future interact and co-evolve with regulatory frameworks. Administrations are set of rules, not of unchangeable rules. Such rules are man-made and graduates acquire the skills necessary to design and implement legally robust, innovative solutions with complex legal frameworks as well as to change legal settings to allow for better solutions.
Furthermore, graduates are equipped to translate regulatory trends and foresigh into governance, risk management, and product development. In accordance with the mission of German UDS, the program integrates academic rigor, digital delivery, and societal responsibility. It prepares professionals to shape a humane, democratic, and sustainable state and administrative order rather than merely reacting to VUCA disruption.
