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

“We’ve used Babson’s excellent IT Consortium as a well-targeted and productive component of our leadership development efforts for key middle managers. Both attendees and our company have been rewarded with the results. Our managers have come back with a network of solid contacts who share our issues and thoughts, an expanded view of possibilities, exposure to current and relevant thought leadership, and uniform enthusiasm for the program. We as a company have benefitted directly from the project work and deliverables, and increased capabilities of the managers chosen. In all, this is a very worthwhile investment in our people.”
