110.0. "Customer Executive Education" by TROA02::COCHRANE () Wed Oct 17 1990 09:03

    		Executive  Education
    
    
    Does Digital have a portable (deliverable @ the insurance company)
    executive education program?  I have been asked to provide some
    education (2 or 3 time a year) for the VP's and directors at
    Prudential. This would be "What you need to know to be successful with
    technology" type stuff.

       	    This looks like an interesting topic, which could lead 
       to a lot of differing answers. Getting the presentations with 
       the board is generally the hard bit; once you're in, the 
       danger is probably giving them too much to absorb, or 
       information which they don't really need. 
   
       	    So what does your audience want/need to know? If you 
       have carte blanche, I would go for a selection from:
   
   
   1)  why business management needs to know about IT
   
   2)  why technology is no longer the main issue, it's total 
       business solutions
   
   3)  how cost of ownership and business benefits are impacted by 
       the right information strategy
   
   4)  getting the management/organisation right to avoid either 
       business or DP dominance of the IT function
   
   5)  why Digital's product strategies provide major business 
       benefits (back to cost of ownership/ flexibility/ solutions/ 
       change etc.)
   
   6)  what the emerging technologies might do, and how Digital can 
       absorb them within its architecture
   
   7)  services available from Digital: Information strategy 
       planning, TOP consultancy, Applications Consultancy, Cost of 
       Ownership/benefit analysis, DECSite, DECMove etc etc.
   
   8)  why they should involve Digital/IT in their business planning
   
   -   Coupled with some specific tailoring to their business - what 
       are their key issues/concerns/CSFs etc. 
   
   
       	    Does this sort of list sound like the type of 
       information they are seeking? There are some "standard" 
       presentations in some of these areas, but most Digital 
       business consultants would probably modify these to their own 
       style and audience requirements. 
   
       	    Is this what you wanted by way of an answer?
