Participants will learn to demonstrate IT’s commitment to the continual quality improvement of all the quality dimensions through clear reporting that demonstrates IT’s contribution to the business.

CIO: Our reporting in IT was out of date and mainly driven by a reactive mode of operation measuring the volumes of incidents and problems. Our management approach is evolving with more proactive improvements, so we need to have the right process in place from the start. We need to design, manage and cultivate a sustainable IT QMS that includes skilled people, proper processes and visual tool support. We aim to report the benefits realised from different perspectives and provide transparent reporting regarding overall IT quality improvements.
