IT for the Non-IT Business Leader
Make IT Successful for Your Organization: An Overview

Today no company can exist without using and integrating information technology and IT related processes into the daily operation. IT is no longer just nice to have - it is a strategic asset that needs to be managed by business leaders. But, how do business leaders successfully manage an asset that has been traditionally difficult to understand?

Research has shown that the right combination of IT and business involvement will provide a higher return on every dollar invested and better overall performance. Poorly managing IT resources can result in frustration by using time and resources that provide little benefit.

Successful business leaders need to know how to use and communicate information technology needs to their advantage - they need to understand how IT and business strategy interact. They need to understand:
• Are they investing in the right initiatives?
• Is the right infrastructure in place?
• Do the processes and applications meet the customer and supplier needs?
• What are success factors for outsourced services?

This seminar will provide business leaders with an overview of practical tips and tools for IT and Business Success. Key Topics Include:
• Aligning IT with Business Strategy
• IT Governance
• IT Management
• Hidden Traps and Myths
• The Human Factor
• Business Leader Tips for Success

Audience: CEOs, Presidents, Owners, General Managers, Executive Directors, Chief Financial Officers, Department/Divisional Heads or other leaders who benefit from the IT Function.
