Imanageitbetter technical mentoring is eight x two hour one to one sessions delivered by an experienced technical mentor usually over a period of four to five months. Imanageitbetter technical mentor programme is designed to build your confidence in delivering a specific IT related assignment, IT project or overcoming a specific technology related management problem.Most businesses operate with IT in them somewhere. While using IT solutions like MS office is straightforward – developing solutions internally, managing the technical geniuses who integrate productivity tools or start sharing data across platforms, is not. Regardless of whether you do this with trusted internal staff or use an external supplier, managing them effectively is important to the future success of your organisation.In many organisations, there is an ‘understanding gap’ between how business works and what technology can do. Most people understand one or the other, but few understand both. We do. Cocreative will help you bridge this gap and enable you to become more successful as a result.A Technical Mentor will inspire you, encourage you, and help you become more motivated. They don’t tell you what to do, but will offer different personal approaches and a different perspective. They will give you support and encourage new thinking, enabling you to believe in yourself and achieve your goals and objectives successfully.
