“Up to 82% of IT projects overrun their time estimates and many projects fail completely.”
Insufficient collaboration is cited as a major factor in the failure rates. A significant amount
of research shows an increasing need for Information Technology (IT) professionals to be
competent in interpersonal skills in order to be successful.
It is a proven fact that many IT people are not well trained in these areas. Currently available
training does not meet the needs of this unique group of individuals. General training workshops
are very often inadequate and irrelevant to IT professionals. This explains why very little
information has been retained or applied by IT attendees.
The training program offered here is intended specifically for IT people. The brainchild of an
IT veteran with more than 20 years experience, the workshop was designed to not only be more
relevant to IT professionals, but also more sensitive to their personality type, making them
more likely to accept the training, increase retention, and practice and develop the needed skills.
The course content aims to increase collaboration, resulting in greater sharing of creative
talents. The skills gained will also help your staff understand end user needs better. This
will help leverage the contributions of IT staff to meet strategic management goals, software
product contributions, and employee satisfaction.
The
entire training is intended to help individual teams reach far above
what the traditional IT team has been able to accomplish and to
produce teams that can work together effectively to meet goals greater
than any individual member could meet.
