The High-Performing Technology Professional
A modern IT organization thrives when highly connected and integrated with its business partners. When properly trained, technology management and staff become highly influential members of an organization. But to get there, technology organizations must put aside traditional thinking and training and embrace new skills, strategies, and approaches that are more business-focused and human-centered.
Becoming an impactful technology leader requires more than just technical knowledge – it is an art form that takes time and practice to master. Learning the science behind the role is helpful; learning the art is invaluable.
This workshop teaches participants how to master the art of becoming a business-focused technology professional using a combination of classroom and experiential learning led by an instructor with deep expertise in building impactful IT organizations and developing top technology leaders.
The High-Performing Technology Professional Workshop empowers all Technology staff – executives, team leads, technical experts – with the skills, strategies, and mindset needed to excel in a business environment.
The workshop enables technology professionals to combine technology knowledge with key business skills to make a significant impact on their organization and be recognized as leading contributors to its success.
This is an experiential workshop where participants learn how to apply what is taught using real-life scenarios. They don't just learn what to do; they practice how to do it to develop a deeper understanding of how it is applied to achieve maximum benefit.
