“Even as a seasoned IT professional I gained knowledge I was able to use beginning from the first module. I quickly was reminded of the saying “You don’t know what you don’t know.” I already incorporated many of the principles into my current IT department. Every class was enlightening and useful. I got as much from my interaction with my fellow students and instructor as I did from the curriculum.
I feel I just jumped 10 years forward in my professional career.”

Reviews from our Executive Sponsors…
“The CXO CIO programme has met and indeed exceeded my expectations. We knew we had strong internal candidates for the permanent CIO role but none were quite ready. Your programme took them to the next level — raising awareness and performance expectations. Being led by experienced CIO practitioners was an important part of that. The curriculum itself was broad in a way quite different from what technologists might expect, so it bridged the gap from where the candidates started to where they needed to arrive. As a seasoned CIO I was so pleased to see them being exposed to concepts and challenges I knew would be important for them. The conduct of the course was so professional, from managing the sessions and the workbooks, through conducting the assessments and providing feedback to me as exec sponsor. I am pleased to let you know that one of the candidates was successful in our subsequent selection process and is now the permanent CIO, performing every bit as well as we had hoped. Thanks to you and your colleagues for a great course well run!”
Robert Westcott Director of IT Special Projects Kingston University
“A fantastic programme, covering multiple topic areas which has given my delegates on the programme, a rounded view of all the areas of expertise, knowledge and understanding required to take the next step in their careers and step into my shoes. The experience has been invaluable for them and one of the most important parts of the programme is making sure you get an external perspective and understand how others operate and to build some connections with others in other businesses who are on the same career journey. A great bit of personal development that has been well received.”
