“Sometimes, leadership isn’t about climbing higher—it’s about redefining the mountain itself.”
I’ve always thought that systems are powerful. Having managed enterprise-wide digital transformation and ERP implementations for more than ten years, I understood the importance of efficient procedures for company expansion. However, I was never really positioned as a strategic voice at the decision-making table and instead frequently found myself working behind the scenes, resolving issues, optimizing platforms, and facilitating change.
That changed when I decided to pursue my Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) in Enterprise Resource Planning with an AI focus at IMET Worldwide.
This wasn’t just a degree. It was a turning point in my leadership journey—a shift from being a problem-solver to a thought leader, from technical execution to strategic visibility.
Elevating Expertise Through the Doctorate Journey
IMET Worldwide’s Doctorate program provided just what I was searching for: an academic experience that was up to date with industry demands and future-ready.
I was able to accomplish the following thanks to it:
- Deep Doctorate in AI integration with ERP tactics to create enterprise systems that are more intelligent, flexible, and predictive
- A thorough comprehension of the relationship between technology and leadership and business strategy
- Useful research that I could start using right away for ongoing ERP changes
Above all, the capacity to communicate in the language of influence and innovation at the leadership table
My doctoral journey was a professional metamorphosis as much as an academic one.
From Quiet Execution to Bold Visibility
Completing my doctorate gave me the confidence—and credibility—to step into the spotlight.
My personal and professional branding changed as follows:
- I started writing about AI-driven ERP trends, which attracted the interest of CIOs and tech leaders.
- I received invitations to participate in enterprise innovation panels and webinars.
- My LinkedIn profile evolved into a potent illustration of my knowledge and goals. I began to appear in trade journals and forums, and my network grew rapidly.
The title “Dr.” wasn’t just symbolic—it became a gateway to global recognition and influence.
