IT plays a critical role in day-to-day business and in the development of future services and products. Organisations expect from the TI manger to contribute to business targets, but is he or she equipped to play a part at strategic level? Is IT strategy aligned with business strategy and is cooperation demonstrable and, indeed, adequate?
This programme deals with this question and prepares present and future CIOs, IT directors, information managers and IT managers for the active roles required to align, direct and manage their various IT situations.
