| | CIO Officers Training -- It's better than Boot Camp! As you look around the Web and find various CIO boot camps, do you find yourself wondering which one is best for you? We have made the problem easy for you – our program is radically different from the others and is designed with the modern CIO in mind. While boot camps are for new enlistees to learn the tactical skills they need, an Officers Training program is designed for the best and brightest who are ready to assume strategic leadership roles. Thus, our program is CIO Officers Training. Unlike the more traditional CIO Boot Camps where you learn tactical skills and techniques, the CIO Officers Training course at the Institute for CIO Excellence teaches you think strategically so that you can use your I.T. resources to create significant business value for your company. If you have come to realize that managing your IT Department as a cost center is probably not the best way to advance your career, then you are ready for the CIO OFFICERS TRAINING COURSE!!! The course merges relevant academic learning with practical and real-world applications to provide participants with the tools and knowledge to be successful in the constantly evolving business world. A certificate is awarded to those who pass the course exam at the end of the two days. Register NOW for the next CIO Officers Training Course!
