As part of the week’s activities, the Department of Tourism Technologies at the College of Polytechnic Karbala organized a scientific workshop entitled “The Role of Digital Transformation in Institutional Development,” delivered by Dr. Mohammed Thajil Abdullah, Assistant Lecturer Widian Jawad Kadhim, and Lecturer Zahraa Taher Issa.
The workshop addressed the importance of digital transformation as a comprehensive digitization process of administrative and service-related operations and procedures, contributing to institutional development through the re-engineering of traditional work methods and their conversion into intelligent, data-driven digital systems.
The workshop further explained that digitalization enhances institutional performance efficiency, improves service quality, facilitates decision-making, reduces operational costs, and promotes transparency and governance, thereby enabling institutions to adapt to technological changes and strengthen their competitiveness and institutional sustainability.
This activity forms part of the Entrepreneurship Week program, reflecting the College of Polytechnic Karbala’s commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship and empowering students to keep pace with scientific and technological advancements, in alignment with Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University’s strategic orientation toward investing in youth potential and building a sustainable knowledge-based economy.
