Earlier in April I had the pleasure of attending the CIO Pocket MBA hosted at Boston University.
The classes were fantastic, and if you’re in any kind of an I.T Leadership role I highly recommend attending this class.
It’s intense, fast, and covers a wide variety of topics presented by some of the most amazing professors I’ve ever seen. I was a bit skeptical over how current a university could be as I feel that most tend to lag (when it comes to technology) behind what’s happening in the real world.
Topics included:
- Managing disruption and change
- Economic position of the I.T organization
- Performance KPIs for driving results (a financial analysis session)
- Creating a customer centric organization
- Building a strategy for getting things done
- Leading change and innovation
Apart from the valuable coursework, there was value in the networking component where technology leaders from around the world attending (including Europe and the UAE).
