About This Course:
Technology is a vital contributor to the effective and efficient business execution of almost all private sector organizations. Is your IT organization able to effectively deliver for the business? Using an IT Management Maturity Model developed by subject matter experts from the American Council for Technology - Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC), you will learn how to assess and improve your organization’s IT organizational maturity and ability to deliver new capabilities for your organization in this IT management training course.
Why use an IT Management Maturity Model?
For many organizations it is difficult to know how well they are doing in the different aspects of IT management. By using the IT Management Maturity Model outlined in this course, you gain an objective understanding of how your IT organization is truly performing in each critical function. Just as importantly, the maturity model provides descriptions of various levels of maturity for each function, and provides the organization with steps that can be taken to improve its overall maturity.
You Will Learn How To:
- Assess your organization’s maturity in five critical areas of IT management – governance, budgeting, acquisition, organization and workforce, and program and project management
- Identify the critical elements required to be successful in running an IT organization and in serving your customers, and review examples of where things have been done incorrectly
- Discover the leadership and cultural attributes necessary to develop a high-performing and mature IT organization
- Identify critical measures that can be used to support the implementation and ongoing measurement of IT management maturity in your organization.
