Description

As a CIO…Are you tired of the CIO "roller coaster" (average job tenure < 5 years)?Do you want to have more control over your career?Are you weary of navigating corporate politics?Is most of your time spent "keeping the lights on" instead of solving new problems and addressing new challenges?Are you worried about being able to land another CIO position?There's a better alternative - IT management consulting!After many years as a CIO myself, I decided to make the transition to consulting and I haven't looked back! As a consultant, you aren't subject to the whims (or politics) of any one company or boss in order to continue and expand your career - you are in charge of your own career! And, management consulting can allow you to leverage your experience and expertise across new industries. In fact, the variety and diversity of consulting engagements will almost always exceed what you would see in a typical corporate career. Consulting can also offer more flexible work arrangements than a full-time job. And, whatever role or project a consultant undertakes, they can expect to be well-compensated for their experience and expertise!But the tradeoff (there's always a tradeoff, right?) is that you will need to learn some new skills in order to find and sell consulting workThis course series will provide the skills and tools you need to turn yourself into a successful IT management consultantThis course is for practitioners, and reflects my personal experience and learningIt is specific to CIO's and the challenges we face moving into consulting - this specific content isn't available anywhere elseIt'll give you real-world pointers and insights, so you don't make the same mistakes I did This course consists of 5 modules, with over 270 slides and 4+ hours of narrated video in total, plus an IT consulting toolkit to get you started.
