Programme Overview

Information Technology (IT) is the cornerstone of modern businesses, and IT managers are pivotal in ensuring its alignment with business goals. However, many senior IT managers struggle to gain respect due to a disconnect between technology and broader organizational strategy. This gap often arises from a lack of formal management training, leaving IT managers ill-equipped to understand the interdependent functions of procurement, finance, marketing, and strategy. This programme is designed to equip IT managers at pre-CXO, CIO and CTO levels with the knowledge and skills needed to bridge that gap, allowing them to actively contribute to strategic decisions and drive business success.
