The Strategic IT Planning Training Seminar: Turtle Bay Beach Resort, Watamu – 7-11 December, 2010
Few can argue that having the right strategic IT plan in place is crucial to the success of your organization. Your IT strategy must lay out a roadmap for investment to establish the systems, infrastructure and services necessary for the business to achieve its long-term objectives. But many enterprise IT departments either hire very expensive consultants or they cobble together disparate, and often outdated, research and resources and essentially "reinvent the wheel" in their approach to strategic IT planning.
In this 2 ½ day training you will be introduced to a time-tested and proven system designed for any IT organization that needs to map and align its long-term IT plan with the organization’s objectives. You will be shown a step-by-step methodology that will allow you to independently walk through the process of creating a strategically-aligned IT plan.
