This project-based learning program helps emerging IT leaders gain leadership skills and strategic perspectives. Should you have any questions please contact Dayle Lipsky at dlipsky@babson.edu or (781) 239-3892. As chief information officers gain more critical responsibilities as business leaders of the organization, the role of managing key aspects of the IT organization is shifting to emerging IT leaders. These high-potential professionals often have strong technical capabilities in IT, but may lack the additional skills needed to help manage the IT organization successfully.
To help emerging IT leaders gain crucial leadership skills and strategic perspectives, Babson created the IT Leader Development Consortium. As professionals learn most effectively by “doing,” emerging leaders are encouraged to participate as company teams to work on company-sponsored projects.
During the two-module, six day program, participants work through their projects’ challenges, identify solutions, and deliver actual results to their companies. They also gain and enhance their strategic and management skills, such as how to:
- Lead a team of IT professionals and effectively manage in a complex organization
- Create a compelling business case for IT-related investments
- Deliver business value in the face of competing demands
Finally, networking opportunities with the best and brightest peers from leading companies allow you to immediately gain and apply today’s most innovative IT practices.
Sample projects that company teams have worked on during the IT Leader Development Consortium include:
- Regional Health Care Organization: Integrate entire employee population through a centralized, automated, and standardized data set
- Leading Storage Network Company: Assess company’s process maturity and its impact on strategic initiatives
- Large Energy Company: Define the role of IT in business process innovation and pilot it through a project implementation
