Business Management Skills for IT Specialist
Register
for this training course
Introduction
The IT specialist who wishes to ensure growth and secure long-term relevance in the business world must acquire and develop effective business management skills. Typically, his/her educational experience would have had a strong technical focus and organisational structures would have propagated this outlook by restricting technocrats to their area of expertise and thereby unintentionally depriving them of necessary business exposure. IT specialists who are groomed this way soon find limited opportunities for growth within the organisation.
Clearly, there is a gap to be bridged between IT and the business. IT professionals tend to lack interest and understanding of business issues whilst business managers tend to be ignorant of what IT can do for their business and lack understanding of the limitations.
This training aims to develop hybrid managers who, whilst still technically sound, acquire and develop business management skills which improve their ability to manage IT, IS and indeed any other function. The objectives of the programme are as follows:
- to enable IT professionals to contribute to business strategy formulation
- to enable the design and implementation of systems to be closely aligned with business strategy
- to enhance the effectiveness of the IT management function and operation
