techniques, including:
How the Executive EMBA is different with a regular
MBA?
The Executive EMBA
participants are about six years more experienced, on average, than the
traditional MBA. They are therefore about that much farther along in their
careers. In addition, the Executive EMBA Program has been designed to offer the
skills required for those about to enter the senior management ranks of their
organizations, rather than in-depth study in a specific functional area as in
the traditional MBA.
I do not have a Bachelor Degree,
can I still
apply?
Yes. Applicants are
with at least three years' managerial working experience. We would recommend that you should enroll in our course, to enter the
senior management ranks of your organization.

Thousands of information technology [it] publications have debatëd the difference between the information technology [it] director and the chief information officer cio. The latter is generally seen as the more prestigious role, implying a seat on the board, or at least easy access to it.
A project management Rule: Make the project management setting a place where people can be their authentic selves without fear of judgement or mockery. Granting each other their legitimacy is the basis for the healthiest of relationships.
Sometimes CIOs describe their role as a sanity check to ensure that information technology [it] strategies hang together. They also look at technology futures and budgets, and supplier management is a new entrant to the list.
Employees with project management skills are more valuable to their employers, creating a “win-win” situation for both employee and employer.
project management [pm] is one of the world’s most in-demand skill sets and is one of the fastest growing professional disciplines in the World.
Why use the [crm] tools? The [crm] products provide strategic guidance and practical advice on what [crm] should achieve, what should be considered during design and implementation, what standards need to be adhered to and what legal issues to consider.
information technology [it] and finance become close partners in developing solutions to mitigate exposure to risk, whether it-related, operational, or financial.
project management can provide the infrastructure that supports true transformation. it can enable previously disadvantaged individuals to create strategies for the successful undertaking of many of the required tasks of daily living.
project management knowledge and practices are best described in terms of their component processes. These processes can be placed into five process groups [initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing] and nine knowledge areas [project integration management, project scope management, project time management, project cost management, project quality management, project human resource management, project communications management, project risk management and project procurement management].
A key factor in successful project management is to invest sufficient time in defining and planning the project. The statement “plan your work and work your plan” fits project management very well.
All roads lead to the chief information officer cio. it is a combination of breadth and depth, and part of that is enterprise visibility. The CEO and CFO have that from their own purviews, but they don't understand how work really gets done, how the business truly operates, the way CIOs do.
technology travels in 80-year cycles: 40 years to get it to work right, and a second 40 years for it to impact society. Where does that put computers? The internet?
The chief information officer [cio] need to think both in the box and out of the box. And more and more out-of-the-box thinking is necessary now than in the past.
Automated: The utility monitors and manages itself and takes action based on user-defined policies.
In the past, CEOs focused on functional optimization. Now we see them looking at end-to-end process improvement, integrated processes all along the supply chain, and the concept of the extended enterprise.

Return on Investment calculatës the financial impact of the project management, including its development costs, operating and maintenance costs, and financial savings. The resulting calculation is then normalized to allow it to be compared with other project’s ROI calculations.
Defining Needs and Wants is an excellent way to define the scope of a project management and to set the parameters for project management planning. it can be a catalyst for discussion about what is really needed from the project management. And, it can force realistic decisions about what can and can't be done.
Generally, project management involves managing cross-functional teams, rather than people who all work in the same business discipline. For instance, a project Director/manager who’s overseeing the development of a new product or service may manage folks from departments as disparate as marketing, it, and human resources.
crm experts agrees that [crm] is ìa customer-centric business strategy that triggers changes in functional roles in the enterprise that require new engineering processes, which requires a solid tech base to support it. Translation: First you change your business approach, then you re-engineer the roles in your enterprise to support that new approach, then and only then do you start talking to [crm] technology vendors.
Determining whether or not you need a dedicated project management application largely depends on the scope of your project and the effectiveness of your current management systems.
The more effective the project team is in planning the project, the easier the implementation of the project becomes.
Nor does we focus on the hands-on running of information technology it, either in day-to-day or larger operations. The reason is a practical one: with a enterprise the size of AstraZeneca, monitoring all information technology [it] operations would be virtually impossible.
To do that, we oversees a staff of 15, meaning that, in his enterprise, almost 10 percent of the workforce is involved in information technology it. But Shoenfelt said that investment in technology is essential to keeping the business profitable.
A good project management definition is defense against scope creep that gradual [or not-so-gradual] expansion of the project management as it unfolds.
Think of tasks as individual pieces of work which need to be done. Some typical tasks may include: 1 - Reports to management, 2 - Pieces of code for an application, 3 - project management definition documents, 4 - Any small [or large] item that contributes to reaching the state goal of the project management.
The project management oversees the planning, implementing, quality control, and reporting of status on a given project. He or she manages the project management team, which typically consists of people from all the areas of the PM’s organization. The project Director/manager is responsible for defining the scope of the project precisely; preparing the schedule for getting the project done, and updating that schedule as it evolves; proposing the budget for the project, and then managing the project so that it doesn’t cause cost overruns; making sure the project team has the supplies and the human resources necessary to get the project done on time and on budget; identifying and minimizing potential risks to the project timeline and budget; making sure that all project team members understand what their responsibilities are; communicating the project's progression to management; and ensuring the quality of the team’s work and any supplies or materials used by the team.
A project management Rule: Stay close to your customer. Clients’ concerns evolve over the life of a project. Take advantage of that to over-deliver. Stay in a conversation with your client to adjust what you are doing.
project management are performed for results. Of the three major project objectives – results, time and cost - results is far and away the most critical. it is the results that the sponsor or client want within some time frame and for some cost. Success requires that the results satisfy the people who are putting up the money and resources for the project management.
So how has the CIOs role changed over the years? Firstly, a typical chief information officer [cio] no longer is just concerned with the old information technology [it] domain. He is now responsible for a growing number of areas, and is expected to be accountable to all levels of the organisation.
For most CIOs and CFOs, the absence of a burning issue—such as Sarbox-driven business consolidation—makes it tough to escape the status quo.

customer relationship Managemënt [crm] is a business strategy to select and manage customers to optimize long-term value. [crm] requires a customer-centric business philosophy and culture to support effective marketing, sales, and service processes.
information technology [it] directors or would-be it directors should not underplay their technical knowledge. The first thing they tell me is, 'I am not a techie.' Why are they are ashamed of their techie roots?
In the past, CIOs have primarily walked the halls of Fortune 500 enterprises, but that is changing.
The complexity of outsourcing drives closer collaboration between information technology [it] and finance. If you're trying to do a complex outsourcing deal, getting the financial aspects right and the governance aspects right is crucial.
customer relationship management [crm] strategies have been around since the first bazaar, but products designed to automate [crm] efforts are among today's hottest new computer applications. enterprises are rushing to automate and better manage all the ways they deal with customers, including people who might not consider themselves customers yet.
Simply put, successful [crm] is a fundamental, often painful change in how a enterprise is organized - the sort of changes that need the CEO ís backing. Bluntly successful [crm] always starts with top management. If they don't lead the charge, it won't happen. Change in an organization that ís established is difficult. That ís where the real heavy work comes in.
Managing sales data and processes can be simplified using today´s software solutions. These products automate nearly all of the tasks that salespeople and their support staffs once performed manually. As a category, these products are generally referred to as customer relationship management [crm] solutions.
Former and current government agency CIOs agreed that a brief tenure makes it less likely that a chief information officer [cio] can accomplish agencywide it transformations.
Generally, project management involves managing cross-functional teams, rather than people who all work in the same business discipline. For instance, a project Director/manager who’s overseeing the development of a new product or service may manage folks from departments as disparate as marketing, it, and human resources.
Why the hype about [crm] in today's manufacturer? Is the petite 'e' changing trends? e-crm is not just customer service, self-service web applications, sales force automation tools or the analysis of consumer buying behavior on the internet. e-crm is all of these initiatives working together to enable an organization to more effectively respond to its customers' needs and to market to them on a one-to-one basis.
it would be impractical to a chief information officer [cio] to have direct control over information technology [it] in every country where the enterprise operates. The chief information officer [cio] role is to see the overall framework of information technology [it] policies, standards and strategies, and to empower people to deliver and contribute locally within that.
Customers and relationships with them have always existed right from the birth of the 'buying and selling concept'.
In traditional customer relationship management [crm] deployments, information is entered by sales, support, or customer care personnel and uploaded to centralized [crm] databases to be made available enterprise-wide. In theory, the information is always available - when connected to the network. For users who are not connected to the network, access to these corporate resources is basically unavailable.
If you have an analytical mind, good people skills, and the willingness to rise or fall on the demonstrated success of your work, project management may be for you.
finance is moving from being one of it is biggest internal customers to one of its strongest allies in striving for standardization and integration.

Part of the chief information officer [cio] rësponsibility is on the information technology [it] side, but it also was to change an organization.
When you think of a business Director/manager, typically, you’ll think of someone who oversees a specific functional business area—for instance, a sales team Director/manager, or the Director/manager of the accounting department. These folks tend to manage ongoing or frequently repeated processes such as ensuring that the sales team meets its monthly quota of cold calls to prospective clients, in the case of the sales Director/manager.
Recruit good people – it makes an enormous difference. You do not want information technology [it] people who only 'throw information technology [it] over the wall' or are system builders who let business find the value of information technology it.
As businesses look for more efficient and effective ways to manage work, they have discovered that project management is the answer for increasing white-collar productivity.
Proactive customer relationship management not only can lead to long-lasting and loyal customers, but also gives you a leg up over competitors.
Are we using project management as a data repository for tasks or are we using it as our monitoring and control tool? Hopefully, project managers are using their project management for both.
The focused project management principle: No one has to play detective to discover the goals nor play lawyer to defend them.
Employees with project management skills are more valuable to their employers, creating a “win-win” situation for both employee and employer.
Forty-two percent of all customer relationship management [crm] software purchased last year is sitting unused on a enterprise shelf.
The key to a successful project management is in the planning: 1 - being clear on the objectives, deciding how to work together as a team, 2 - thinking through how to approach the scope, 3 - setting up a schedule and budget, 4 - understanding clearly what will make the deliverable acceptable to the client of the project.

information technology [it] and finance become close partners in developing solutions to mitigate exposure to risk, whether it-related, operational, or financial.
project management planning is preparation for those who will be in action. We waste our time when we plan by ourselves. Have planning conversations. Engage your team — the project performers — in those conversations. Review the overall plan on a regular basis. Add details to later phases of your project as you go taking into consideration what really happened, what you’ve learned, changing client conditions of satisfaction, and the innovations that you’ve put in place.
