In the last 5 years, the nature of most Information
Technology/Information Services departments has changed radically.
The impact of a tight economy, globalization, out sourcing of
core functions, Sarbanes-Oxley and ‘doing more with less’ have been
added to the traditional pressures of increasing customer expectations,
constantly changing technology and a core work force motivated quite
differently from other employees.
Entering leadership positions in the IT/IS department today
requires radically different skills than just a few years ago.
Those who have been in the leadership roles during the changes
have been challenged to change themselves and develop new areas of
expertise. This seminar
examines the current issues and provides a framework for handling the
new changes that will inevitably evolve.
