What is the Case for the ITSMF Executive Academy?

and your organization has great expectations of you.• You see the need for knowledge, skill and insight has intensified
in the management / executive ranks, beyond the standard set of skills and competencies that got you to this point.• You are good at what you do now or have done in the past,
but the game is played at a quicker pace, requiring snap decisions often based on limited facts and data.• Weighing your current portfolio of talents and skills, you are
good, but you want to be better, not just good.
Where do you go for additional skill and expertise, beyond standard management / executive education programs?

What Is The Executive Academy?
ITSMF Executive Academy - 2019 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The ITSMF Executive Academy is a nine-month program, that focuses on the enhancement of mid-manager and executive performance and leadership development skills.
There are “in-person” classroom sessions, where content and topics are presented in lecture format, debated and discussed, in a small 10 -15 person group of peers and colleagues.
The content consists of a mix of current business thinking from some of the greatest thinkers in leadership development and executive “play”.
Additionally, there is a considerable amount of work based on the use of assessments as a tool to understand “self”, in addition to use as a vehicle to optimize the performance of people in the enterprise.
