Business-IT alignment has been high on the agenda of CIOs over the last few years.

Our society is slowly moving from enterprise systems to a digital networked economy. With the quantitative and qualitative data sources now available, companies have the potential to create
unprecedented internal transparency and value for their customers.

Today’s focus is not only on alignment but on further business-IT integration. This puts more and more pressure on IT Managers to develop strong awareness and understanding of the key business disciplines.

This workshop will give you an overview of the key disciplines that you need to be aware of as an IT manager. It covers - at executive level - organisational structure and diagnostics, politics, power, social networks, culture, strategy, financial accounting, corporate finance and negotiation analysis. It will give you the fundamentals of business understanding and references on top of which you can continue to build future skills and knowledge.
