Engaging & Retaining IT Talent

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION CAN’T SUCCEED WITHOUT THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Tech talent is leading the Great Resignation, with more tech professionals quitting their jobs than in any other industry. To deliver on today’s increasingly demanding IT agenda, your managers must build a culture that engages and retains talent, especially when fear, frustration, burnout, and isolation are at all-time highs.

Engaging & Retaining IT Talent equips your IT managers with the mindset, tools, and skills to build sustainable loyalty and commitment. During these highly interactive sessions, your leaders will:

Learn 26 engagement practices and how to apply them
Create team and individual engagement plans
Participate in breakout sessions with peers from organizations around the country
Practice key strategies and skills

They’ll walk away with action plans, multiple tools to use with their team, and access to additional resources for reinforcement and application of the strategies, practices, and behaviors of a Talent Focused Leader™.

What separates IT organizations that deliver transformational, game-changing value from all of the others? And how can your organization rise to the top in today’s competitive, disruptive environment?

“The pace of the class was perfect, and interactive exercises brought the information to life!”

This workshop focuses on:

Achieving IT Service Excellence: Explore the building blocks for a successful IT Service Strategy to ensure that you are positioned to deliver the right things to the right clients at the right time — not all things to all clients.

IT Consulting Skills – Becoming a Trusted Advisor: Consulting is influencing without direct power. In today’s cross-functional, flattened and reengineered companies, sometimes the only power left is the power of influence. Learn to build trust and rapport with clients to manage resistance and expectations.

Marketing a Technology Organization: Help your IT organization speak the language that will influence your business clients. You’ll find the tools and strategies you need to make brand ambassadorship a cultural touchstone for your IT organization.

O&A develops the human side of technology. We are changing the conversation about IT strategy, culture and talent by employing the new core competencies and an attitude of “We are the business.”
