Abstract: Abstract Digital transformation of education remains a protean concept attracting attention from practitioners and researchers. Higher education institutions are undergoing a digital transformation to recruit and retain students to balance their work and study duties. During the last decades, business schools are increasingly uncoupled from practice and losing real value. The critical concern covers executive education, as it means to get revenues, reputations, and higher rankings, mainly for business schools. The paper aims to digitalize education focusing on specifics regarding executive education, demonstrating the situation in the Czech case. Methods use bibliographic analysis of publications, one focus group with Czech lecturers, and two unstructured interviews with top managers. Findings from secondary sources reveal that universities see the digital transformation of learning as a challenge, but few have successfully integrated executive education with online approaches. Some designers believe in applying a project-based approach, business-driven action learning, learning combined with coaching, and individualized online courses based on interactive platforms.
