Leadership 6.0: Value Creation, Competitive Advantage & Respect
The world has changed and technology leadership must change with it. Gone are the days where being a plumber, a mechanic, a project manager, a digital baby sitter for a less-than-tech-savvy senior management team, or a janitor for data messes is enough. The emergent technology leader is an entrepreneur; an innovator; a data scientist; a change agent; an educator; and a diplomat. A new day of technology leadership is upon us. Join the pioneers who are defining the new standard of leadership excellence.

Participants will emerge from this two-day intensely interactive session with:

• Self-Knowledge
• Other Knowledge - How others are thinking
• Environmental Knowledge - What is really happening in the tech world today
• Movement Knowledge - What are the change vectors
• Value Knowledge - Where money/mission value can be delivered

Session Topics include:

• The Critical 1st 90 Days
• How to fix a broken IT organization
• What the text book doesn't tell you about IT finance and budgets
• The Changing Technology Landscape and what to do about it
• Vendor Management
• IT Innovation
• Big Data/Big Analytics
• Mobility
• Cloud Realities

At the conclusion of the class, several attendees will be designated "Leadership Top Guns"
