Technical Strategy for Business Executives (Virtual)

About this event

No matter what your role, if you are a decision maker today in any company, there is likely an expectation that you are able to understand and make decisions on technology. This often looks like an operational need, such as, a Director of Finance who is being asked to review proposals for cloud service providers or a HR Director working with a vendor to make decisions on learning management systems.

However, it also impacts strategic decisions as it is clear that companies can harness technology not only to lower costs and drive value but also position themselves better for new opportunities and growth. This strategic need is on every executive's plate.

This course is designed to provide executives from any field with the knowledge & tools to provide strategic support to their company. This unique session will be taught by industry leaders and will include the following topics:

Software Development 101 - History & Terminology
Why Platform Companies Win
Virtualization & Datafication
Technology Culture
Security & Resilience
Ethical Use of AI
XaaS and No Code Revolution
Software Development Strategy
Convergence: AI, IoT, Networks
