IT MANAGEMENT EDUCATION---

After 13 years working in IT, I needed a programme which would take my career to the next level, providing me with the knowledge and tools to build trusting relationships at CxO level. IT Management Education (ITME) courses clearly met the quality standards I expected from Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management. Simply put, ITME does for a CIO what an MBA does for a CEO.

WELCOME WORD OF THE ACADEMIC DIRECTORSince 2003, Solvay Executive Education has been setting new teaching and research standards in the

areas of Information Technology Management, Information Security, Risk, Audit, Compliance and IT

Value. Over a decade’s worth of successful executive education has enabled hundreds of participants to

acquire essential business and managerial knowledge and boost their career as a direct result.

Major research and new developments in management practices, frameworks and bodies of knowledge

enrich our curriculum, year after year. Many of our lecturers have played important roles in advancing

research and releasing infl uential publications examining the governance, risk management and value

realisation of Information Technology.

Each year, more than one hundred academic lecturers, expert speakers, staff and participants are

involved in this harmonious set-up, delivering a top-notch education that receives a high rate of

satisfaction and overwhelmingly positive feedback from graduating participants.

Many graduates come back in subsequent years to acquire knowledge in recently-emerging areas, attend

newly-offered modules or transition to General Management, Finance, Marketing or Leadership-related

lifelong learning programmes. Others call upon us for in-company education in order to share knowledge

with their management and colleagues. Others seek professional certifi cations and accreditations by

capitalising on previously-acquired expertise.

We at Solvay Executive Education are proud to accompany participants along their career path and to

provide them with a window into recent publications, academic research and professional expertise.

The Executive Master I took from Solvay Brussels School is a major turnaround for my career. I have learned the wider prospect of IT management and IT Governance, gained skills in IT Assurance, IT Audit, IT Governance, IT Operations and alignment of IT with business. My professors were quite keen on the communication, negotiation and senior executives’ objectives. I am still connected with my SBS Alumni from Belgium, UAE and France whom seem to have experienced similar successes in their careers.
