Workshop: Consulting Skills—Becoming the Trusted Advisor

Workshop: Marketing a Technology Organization
(Four 3-hour modules)
Most people perceive marketing as something only the marketing department does. As a result, most IT professionals underutilize this important skill and end up functioning as reactive, product-pushing order takers. High-performing IT organizations leverage marketing to showcase their value. This workshop will help you focus on benefits and solutions instead of features and products and will guide you through a process for building a marketing plan that is scalable depending on what you plan to market and to whom.
