Appendix A: ICT Global Executive Development Programme
Description
- The aim of this programme is to provide business leaders in the ICT Industry with the tool set to take their companies international.
- This initiative will support the NZTE-selected training company The Icehouse, to run a global executive development programme, "Go Global". This includes:
- building up brand recognition of the Go Global programme; and
- the development of a facilitated online community as recommended by overseas experts in the development of high-growth company CEO programmes.
Issue(s) Addressed
- The ICT Taskforce identified the single biggest constraint to the growth of New Zealand ICT companies as being the shortage of skilled leaders and marketing/sales executives with the experience appropriate to take a company global.
- The programme is tightly targeted at the chief executives of high-growth globally-orientated companies that typically employ a minimum of 50 staff and have a turnover of typically less than $30 million per annum.
