Executive Education
Education is a critical element in supporting the Center's mission to help CIOs improve their strategic competencies and advance their profession. The Center's executive education program includes content, training, and learning activities in a variety of delivery formats — in person, webinars, one-to-one, etc. — targeted to address the key competencies and gaps identified in the Center's 2008 research and underpinned by the Center’s competency model. (To review these findings, download the white paper The CIO Profession: Leaders of Change, Drivers of Innovation.)
The Center develops and delivers its own content, and works closely with academic and learning partners to build and deliver new programs. Members can access the learning through webinars, podcasts, custom training and in-person executive education programs. Programs and resources are listed below.
