My main focus for IT Manager training in 2019 will be developing new Practical IT Manager Training Series classes. Plus, I’ll delver 2 or 3 online IT Manager Institute & ITBMC Certification classes this year.
Take a look at the planned classes for the months ahead:
I’ll be presenting in the first IT Leader GROWTH SUMMIT held by Xuviate the week of May 20-24, 2018. This is a FREE online event with over 40 speakers from around the globe on a great list of IT management topics.
REGISTER for FREE and you will receive free access to the presentations during the week of the Summit. They also offer a low cost lifetime All-Access to all presentations. If you decide to take advantage of this, be sure to use the discount code ITLGSMS104 to receive a 25% discount that I negotiated for my audience.
My topic is, Triple Threat to IT Success. In this program I’ll walk you through the 3 key causes of IT failure and what you can do to prevent them followed by interview questions and discussion with the Program Host. After my presentation, Mathias Tolken asks me a few questions and I provide candid input on a few things to help IT managers achieve more.
Many of the Presenters like me include BONUS tools and downloads designed to help you in your IT manager role.

As I enter the 17th year of my company I’m excited about the emphasis on IT manager training we have planned this year. The IT Manager Institute has been a very successful program that we offer in three formats:
1. Classroom
2. Webinar
3. Online Self Study
The IT Manager Institute and ITBMC Certification Program is one of the fastest and most effective ways to develop critical IT management skills. If you want specific instruction on how to succeed and fast results, the IT Manager Institute is what you need.
The program follows a simple IT Management Process™ and provides tools and insights that can be used immediately to help IT managers of all levels achieve more™ success.
My training is practical, straightforward and to the point on how to achieve IT manager success. I teach you:
– What you need to do
– How to go about it
– Tools and examples you can use immediately
Over 1,000 IT managers from all parts of the world have attended the program in either classroom, webinar, or online Self Study with 100% positive feedback. The reason is simple: our processes and tools are practical, easy to use, and they work in the real world.
Attain ITBMC status and you will demonstrate a method of management that sets you apart from other IT managers and will help you achieve more success.
There is NO THEORY in this program. Every process and tool was created by me to help me organize, monitor and manage IT organizations in real companies. I have translated over 20 years of IT management experience into some of the most practical training for IT managers in the industry.
