Digitization is the new normal in businesses, where a combination of social, mobile, analytics, cloud and Internet of Things technologies are the means through which firms are redesigning their business processes, products, services, and strategies. At the heart of these changing times, the role of IT Leadership continues to grow in importance and visibility. Beyond a traditional role in managing the efficient and effective delivery of IT services, the IT leadership role is transforming and expanding in scope to encompass a multiplicity of roles.

The Advanced IT Leadership Academy will cover a variety of topical areas that are critical to realizing digital transformation including: the digital transformation of business and the transformative power of digitization, value-driven innovation, data and analytics, talent acquisition and management, and portfolio management. Participants will also work in pairs to complete a capstone project which applies the week’s learnings into a practical business solution.

To remain competitive and relevant businesses need to equip their information technology leadership with the skills, and mindset, to lead in these transformative times. In addition, businesses need to develop and retain their next generation of IT leadership.
