A manager has to cope with an ever changing world. When single most driver of change today is IT, you as a top executive always felt that you need to know technology. But you did not know where to start. You thought it was too technical and complex.

There is good news! You do not need to know technology to be IT-savvy. Sounds unbelievable? But it is true.

This seminar brings to you just the right inputs that you need to be successful in an ever-changing world. It is based on a deep study of this technology and its impact on the behaviour of people.

Computerisation is not all technology, it is a lot to do with people and management. So you can leave the technology to the IT folks and focus on what you CAN learn - that is, managing people and managing change.

You will learn that you had all along been trying to be IT Literate whereas what you need to be is IT Aware. And what is the difference between the 
    

two? This seminar covers that, and more of just what you need to be successful IT Aware Managers.

IT Awareness is a specialized skill required to manage IT Driven Change. There is something special about this technology that you need to know which unfortunately is not talked about in most IT courses or IT seminars.  This is not very 

obvious and not often discussed as most seminars tend to focus too much on technology. You as managers need to know how people react to this technology, what they do and do not understand about it, and most importantly, what they misunderstand about it. 

This seminar will make you capable not only to face IT-Driven change, but be a catalyst for change.  

Benefits for You

Managers with IT awareness are in greater demand in the corporate world. There is already a great digital divide, Managers who are IT Aware and those who are not. Which side would you like to be on?

You will be able to better utilise technology without the frustrations and pains which most managers go through. You will be able to interact with the IT folks more intelligently and thereby use technology more effectively to your advantage.  

Benefits for your Company
