We’ve just seen the second cohort through the CIO Development Digital Academy and they have been an inspiration. There have been so many rich and wonderful conversations amongst the group, sharing of stories and learning from each other. Here are some quotes from the conclusion of the programme:
“It’s been a great experience, insightful, thought-provoking and very practical…”
Nicky Gibbs, Head of Knowledge & Information, National Audit Office
“Excellent, great and diverse speakers, great structure, good facilities, great colleagues…”
John Holding, Deputy Director, IT Transformation Programme, DWP
“I knew that digital transformation was happening but I was not able to see how big it is. I now look and read much more about digital…”
Georg Langlotz, Operations Director, Colt Technology Services
“It’s been great going through this journey with a group who are all facing similar challenges…”
Matthew Greaves, Interim Programme Manager, N Brown plc
“Forced you to examine what your organisation is doing to adapt to the fast pace of change in technology…”
Jeanine Cazabon, IT Senior Manager Applications Delivery, Kimberly-Clark
A number of the participants have gone on to take on additional responsibilities and more of a leadership role in driving digital change in their organisations. That is a truly wonderful result, and it has been a pleasure getting to know them all.
