Alumni Reviews
"Eye opening, inspiring, and just what I needed to boost my readiness for the brave new world that’s coming up in business and technology. Not only is there deep but digestible coverage of where things have evolved in recent times but also how to be prepared for the future. Given the current economy and anxiety that surrounds big changes, this is an essential spring of hope that really lets one visualize their future career"
"This cohort completely changed how I view business IT and opportunities for future career progression. John Tanner has an incredible gift for presenting complex ideas as simple, applicable insights. I will be revisiting the recordings, and signing up for more of his classes."
"I found extreme value in the Upskilling Cohort. As a leader, and survivor, of several “mainstream thinking” IT transformations, this cohort changed the way I look at the future of IT. The conversations around governance, restarting the structure of enterprises with safety and standards first have positively impacted my current engagement and I am sure any future engagements. I would highly encourage any leader to explore this course."
