Two day course – The Critical Factors in the Strategic High Value Application of Business Information Systems – 20th and 21st May 2015, London, UK
If I could show managers responsible for the day-to-day business or technology management of your business information systems a new way of looking at your systems -- in a way that would enable them to manage the system more effectively, and greatly increase the use of the system as a strategic resource and source of strategic information, would that interest you?
The strategic and competitive application of business information systems is constantly hyped and sold, but seldom delivered – this briefing informs and equips business and technology managers to take charge of their business systems as valuable tools in your strategic and competitive arsenal.
In my articles and work I consistently stress the use of Business Information Systems as strategic tools and discuss how to achieve this. This two day course will give insight into what is REALLY required to achieve strategic value delivery from your business information systems, and how to raise the bar in terms of the value yield of those systems.
This course is designed for business managers and technology managers who are directly responsible for the application of computerized business information systems in their organizations.
I guarantee that after this course delegates WILL see new opportunities to add value to your business through your existing systems and have a clear understanding of the measures required to realize these benefits.

Companion Event
Executive Briefing – Business Systems in Strategic and Competitive Management – 14th May 2015, London, UK – Fee £275, Group and Early Bird Discounts Apply
The two day course "The Critical Factors in the Strategic High Value Application of Business Information Systems" is designed to meet the needs of operational business and technology managers who need a thorough grounding in the principles that are being taught at a level that they can apply hands-on back at the office.
As a companion event, we are offering a half day Executive Briefing on "The Critical Factors in the Strategic High Value Application of Business Information Systems" – this will cover broadly the same material as the two day course, but in much less detail and targets business executives and senior managers who are looking for fresh insights with regard to their overall management of business information systems.
The two events are only a week apart so that executives and senior managers can attend the briefing and managers responsible for the operation of the systems, both on the business side and the technology side, can attend the two day course and then compare notes and take congruent and consistent action.
The briefing will provide a headline view of all the material covered on the two day course, but without the practical workshop elements.
Full fee for the executive briefing is £275.00 per delegate excluding VAT, and £175.00 per delegate excluding VAT for three or more delegates, booked and paid for by 27 March 2015.
