IT executives must be more than just technical. They must:

- Have well-developed business skills
- Think like a CIO
- Understand the business of IT
- Possess both tactical and strategic capabilities
- Have the ability to foster innovation, resiliency and productivity

This three-day, fast-moving and highly interactive workshop contains topics specifically designed to prepare mid-level IT executives in large IT shops for higher levels of management responsibility and provide CIOs of smaller IT shops (30 people or less) with additional tools to help maximize their business impact.

Developed by an experienced CIO, and then vetted by a board of senior IT industry executives, the ITMLP shows that those, who successfully complete Final Exam, bring credible and validated industry knowledge to the organizations they serve.
