National Event: IT Leadership with Owen McCall

Our industry is in the middle of a well documented and significant skills shortage. One of the areas most affected by the IT skills shortage is effective IT leadership (let's face it most of us weren't attracted to IT because of our love of people).

Without effective leadership we stand little chance of fulfilling our promise and delivering value to the organisations we serve. It can be hard to tell, however, what effective leadership looks like and how we can invest in ourselves and our teams to develop our leadership capability.  For example, turn up to an IT event, walk around the room and talk to the IT Leaders who are there you will find they are all different; in some cases radically different in how they think, how they act and what they do.

However, if you dig below the surface you will find that successful IT leaders share seven capabilities in common and it is how these capabilities are deployed that causes the apparent variation in IT Leaders. In this presentation ex-Warehouse CIO Owen McCall will explore what these 7 capabilities are and provide you with a framework that will help you understand how you can become the best leader you can be.

Refreshments provided. Presentation to start at 5:30pm sharp.
