Strategic IT management master class
This two-day workshop will focus on strategic IT governance, risk, compliance and security management (first day) and strategic IT project management (second day).
Laying out a strategic roadmap for success in both aspects of modern IT management, world-class facilitators will demonstrate how IT and information professionals can meet the changing profile demands of postmodern IT management.
As new trends, emerging technologies and networking platforms continually shift the rules and boundaries of organisational IT networks and of information accessibility, there is an increasingly heightened need for holistic IT governance frameworks that will ensure the minimisation of risk while maximising the added capital value introduced by new innovations. The onset of a new age of IT characterised by corporate use of social media, cloud computing, mobility and BYOD has significantly altered the profile requirements of an IT manager. It is now imperative for IT professionals to be equipped with a keen sense of strategy and a business mindset to add value to the organisation. This intense double workshop event will unpack the latest, most needful criteria for managing an efficient, secure and modern IT network, introducing the world renowned COBIT 5. It will also awaken attendants to the strategic mindset necessary in the handling of IT projects, highlighting the keys required to commence and complete strategic IT projects efficiently, intelligently, on deadline and within budget.
