Technical Leadership

The courses in these certificates emphasize leveraging emerging digITal technologies to gain competitive advantage.

Digital leaders must be able to explain how IT can impact the business and contribute to measurable outcomes, such as a percentage increase in revenue. 

  • With only 35% of IT and non-IT executives believing that their organizations currently have the required digital leadership skills, the opportunities for digital management education are growing exponentially.



  • The success rate of today’s digital initiatives resembles the traditionally low success rate of IT projects.  We continue to make the same mistakes.

Prior to taking any of these courses, candidates should have taken Fundamentals of Information Technology Management or its equivalent.
