IT Business Leadership Academy
IT performs best when it is an engaged business partner. Yet the most important drivers of business engagement are skills in which IT has the least proficiency.
Interviews with over 1,000 managers and business leaders found that a highly engaged IT-Business team can boost overall IT performance by 54%.
The IT Business Leadership Academy develops senior IT business partners to become more proactive, value-driving leaders. The comprehensive programs is centered around three 2-day classroom sessions in which participants develop core business partnering skills in an IT-specific context.
Curriculum Overview
Using a curriculum based on input from hundreds of CIOs and senior IT executives, the Academy helps participants apply leadership skills and frameworks to real-world projects that are specific to the IT world.
