Bascom Bridge’s  Thinking Like a Chief Information Officer course teaches attendees to expand their management perspective in order to improve work performance, get noticed by those higher up in the company, and accelerate their own professional growth.

CIO TRAINING OBJECTIVES

• How to view IT and its effect on your future career
• Actionable steps that you can use today to accelerate your professional success tomorrow

CIO TRAINING PREREQUISITES

No prior experience is presumed.

CIO TRAINING MATERIALS

SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR EACH PC:

This is an interactive seminar that does not require computers.  The room should be configured to support pencil and paper exercises in groups of 3-4 participants.

For classes delivered online, all participants need either dual monitors or a separate device logged into the online session so that they can do their work on one screen and watch the instructor on the other. A separate computer connected to a projector or large screen TV would be another way for students to see the instructor’s screen simultaneously with working on their own.
