This training will support you in your first 30 days as CTO for a new organization.
I will start by helping you get into the right mindset for the role. You will learn how to on-board yourself, how to connect with your team, and how to show up for work asking the right questions.
Then, I’ll teach you how to gain situational awareness. You will learn how to identify your stakeholders and find out what they expect. We will also look at how your team creates value, and what the stakeholders expect from you and your team.
