Bart Guns, Chairman of the Board of Directors, KBC, Alumnus IT Governance
“De IT Governance opleiding kwam voor mij op het gepaste moment. Na 2 jaar als IT-Manager (met 20 jaar business ervaring) was het voor mij duidelijk dat ik een gefundeerde basis voor IT-governance kon gebruiken. Nochtans wordt IT-governance op een heel efficiënte en sterk ontwikkelde manier gebruikt in het bedrijf waar ik werk.
De professoren tijdens dit programma waren zeer ervaren en brachten zeer interessante topics aan, sommige theoretisch, andere eerder praktisch.”
Clarence Pinto, Head of Public Services Practice (Europe), Satyam Computer Services, Alumnus CGEIT & IT Governance
"The case studies from the MIT Sloan School of Management were very instructive and helped illustrate practical issues in IT Governance facing organizations today."
Jean-François Burguet, Senior IT Consultant, Deloitte
"The course organized by the Solvay Business School last November gave me a very useful review of the vast material covered by the CGEIT certification. The interactions with the other students; all experienced professionals, made these three day uniquely interesting: everyone's contributions to the occasional debates around certain concepts came as a perfect complement to the theory presented by Mr. Chatterji. I especially appreciated the high quality of the case studies which you explained so clearly."
Ron de Jong, Consulting & Integration, Hewlett-Packard
"The course was an outstanding experience. What the Faculty didn’t promise was that it would be full of first-hand knowledge from recognized experts above all extremely relevant for participants' professional life. The course builds on your experience, no matter how extensive, and it builds on real cases from your own day-to-day working environment. During the program several interesting discussion added to the learning experience."
Thierry Roggen, Chief Information Officer, Union Invivo, Alumnus 2009
"To my view the course demystifies the IT Governance overused buzzword throughout pragmatical debate sessions coached by international experts with sound practical expertises. It was rich of ideas and personal expertises shared with a good balance between theoretical sessions and hands on business cases. It provided me rationals to increase the quality of interaction between Business and IT. Nonetheless, it provide an excellent place to increase peers network as well."
Marc Van Santen, Manager Infrastructure at Iristeam, Alumnus Executive Master in IT Governance
“Along my career in IT infrastructure, I was often confronted with a gab in communication between high level management and operational technical management. The Executive Master in IT Governance helped me to solve the problem and make it possible for me to align high level decision making with day to day operational IT management.”
Michel Martin, IT Business Analyst, European Commission, Alumnus Executive Master in IT Governance
“The Executive Master in IT Governance has not only given me the opportunity to get an holistic view of all IT Governance’s domains but also provided me an in-depth practical knowledge in specific matters. In my every day’s work, this helps to bridge the gap between Business Strategy and IT by leveraging the number of value added tactical initiatives. Therefore, I would definitively recommend this education program to all CIOs and IT leaders. ”
