ATLANTA, March 29, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Management Mentors, two internationally recognized information technology management leaders, recently launched an innovative e-learning platform to provide much-needed, practical guidance to IT managers. The new 20 Minute IT Manager(tm) series brings insightful management advice and tools straight to the desktops of IT managers through weekly 20-minute mentoring sessions on project management, IT management, and people management.
The sessions are valuable to managers and professionals at all levels and address critical IT management concerns of CIO's and company executives around the world: keeping IT aligned with business needs, successfully delivering projects, and managing people. The Management Mentors selected the 20-minute length since it is proven to be optimal for recall of new material and fits easily into busy schedules.
Each member of The Management Mentors team is a recognized leader in his subject area with clients worldwide, and each has years of success and experience as an IT manager.
Mike Sisco, President of MDE Enterprises, Inc. provides IT manager training around the world. "IT management requires a broad mix of skills and knowledge, and those promoted to that role often lack business understanding", says Sisco. "To be successful, you have to understand evolving technologies, master business alignment concepts, sell IT investments to management, successfully implement projects, and motivate a staff of intelligent but challenging individuals. Mentors and personal advisors helped me master these difficult areas, and the 20 Minute IT Manager(tm) can help you make a real difference in your company and career."
Tom Mochal is President of TenStep, Inc. and winner of the 2005 Distinguished Contribution Award from the Project Management Institute (PMI). Mochal takes on the often-complex topics of project management. "Hearing from the experts in their own words is almost like being live in a classroom setting," Mochal says. "The format and content make the 20 Minute IT Manager(tm) series a valuable learning resource for both individuals and companies that can be used for months, even years to come."
The e-learning formats utilized give subscribers the ability to view sessions online from their desktop or directly from their laptop while travelling as often as they wish, excellent for periodic review or developing young managers on your staff.
