Senior Leaders – Glasgow
9 November, 2020
This one-day workshop focuses on the challenges facing ICT senior leaders today. You know the organisation needs to work differently to achieve business-outcomes through emerging technology. However, many organisations expect ICT to deliver in the same old way, managing and driving change programmes in a silo.
Critical to your success in this rapidly evolving world, is your ability to change perception and influence peers across the business to foster a collaborative approach to leading IT-centric business change.
This workshop gives you practical tools and techniques to help drive the cultural change you need to enable the best business focused outcomes.
