Why you benefit from this course
The impact of ICT decisions on business outcomes has grown with an order of magnitude. A common dictum is that with ICT, your company can grow faster broke than ever before. And if you observe how the life expectancy of business has been gradually reduced with every new decade, there is some truth in this saying.
Management and board members have in most cases a strong legal, financial, marketing or operational background. Very few come from an ICT background, except for ICT companies, of course. So, if you qualify for that description, this course is a must have for you.
The course agenda
Board members and managers charged with ICT governance focus on the end-to-end processes, the products and the organisation’s structure that contribute to the strategy execution. Subject to that focus, is the need to ensure that investments in ICT will deliver on their business value promise as well as having the risks and the potentially negative effects under control. To make sure you do this the right way, these five focus areas will support you to make the optimal assessments and decisions.

About the contributors to the course
Our contributors have a strong background in linking strategy to ICT and back. Yes, "back" because ICT developments have shaken up entire industries either in one fell swoop or slowly and gradually, without getting noticed by their management. The team that developed the seminar, consists of experienced managers, enterprise architects and board members with an ICT background.
