Certificate in Business-Aligned IT Strategy

Course details

In today's business climate, companies are striving for business excellence and customer excellence requiring a strong support from their IT services; more often to fuel the required transformations of the business.

Serious challenges impact our organisations while placing a high demand on the business. Information Technology provides the potential to cope with these challenges and further helps to utilise them to your advantage; thereby strengthening your company's external position in the market. However, a shared agenda by the business and the IT disciplines is essential to cope with these challenges, leading to demands placed on senior managers from both domains.

The main objective of this course is to help both the business and IT departments co-create a shared business improvement agenda. This course will help you understand how a sustainable, strong and agile organisation can only rise on the basis of agreed internal standards, using a shared architectural vision as the beacon. The course will teach you how to jointly develop such a vision, help you create ownership of the vision, and enable you to implement this vision, combining short-term achievements with longer-term aims; thereby reinforcing and leveraging the unique strengths of your organisation.

Although it is perfectly feasible to attend the course just by yourself, its effect would be even greater if you would bring your colleague or senior manager from the business/the IT side along. This would give you the shared experience from the start.
