Business Technology Leadership

Leader:

Stephen Andriole, Fellow, Cutter Consortium

Length of workshop:

This program can run from 2 to 8 days, depending on the modules emphasized. Days can be concurrent or modules can be delivered over the course of weeks or months.

Overview:

Focusing on hot new technologies or boosting CIO and CTO effectiveness misses the point. The Business Technology Leadership program focuses on the intersection of business models, technology, and management best practices against a backdrop of leadership. The emphasis is on the interrelationships among business models, processes, technologies and business impact - defined as sales growth, customer satisfaction and profitability.

Technology is operational, tactical and strategic. Business is collaborative, continuous and competitive. Leaders must be creative, adaptive and responsive. This program enables participants to see all this holistically.

Workshop Goals:

You'll gain an increased awareness of the changes occurring in the industry as well as what effective leaders need to understand about emerging business and technology as a result of the program's focus on two closely related objectives: the wide and deep understanding of business and technology trends, and the components of effective business technology leadership. This program is designed to change the way business perceives technology and how technology relates to business. After completing the program you'll be able to add measurable value to the business, contribute to business growth, and think as strategic business partners.

This program consists of modules that build upon one another, culminating with the final module, an exercise that solves a real problem. By focusing on the new role that technology should play in the enterprise - a role that assumes a partnership between business and technology, between business metrics and technology performance - you'll acquire the knowledge and skills to change the business technology relationship in your organization and own a perspective on business technology that that will translate into improved business performance. But perhaps most importantly, you'll learn about yourself and your leadership abilities.
