Organizations struggle to generate more value through embracing digital transformation but are often confronted with lack of skills in this growing area. For instance, managing (digital) transformation projects requires appropriate skills to holistically plan and implement transformations. This paper outlines a set of skills that can be acquired through training programs of digital transformation projects managers. These skills are built by a working group in academia based on defined persona and then evaluated by practitioners through interviews. The outcome of the interviews indicates a general acceptance of these skills and uncovered some improvement avenues. The results of this work are expected to pave the ground for structuring training programs and building teaching content meeting actual learners and business needs.
