Managing IT in the Public Sector
This workshop focuses on the creation of value through the use of information and technology. In the public sector, the value created is often public, as well as private, and therefore can be difficult to measure. The public sector context thus adds another layer of complexity to the already formidable task of managing information technology. The program will explore this complexity and ways of managing IT.
Who Should Attend?
This course is aimed at managers who are involved in decisions regarding significant investments in Information Technology in the public sector. Such managers would typically be members of a work group, project team, IT steering committee, or IT governance board. The decisions regard budgeting for IT, IT investment selection and prioritisation, and IT project management.
The course focuses on the creation and maintenance of durable working relationships that support the effective use of information technology to achieve organisational goals. Thus the participation of colleagues from a single organisation is likely to be particularly beneficial, and is encouraged.
Customised Version
