I have seen my team improve in communication skills, thinking at an executive level, and becoming more strategic in their overall problem-solving skills. I have had 10 team members complete the NGL program and it’s been a success!

A huge benefit of NGL is that everyone enrolled get’s a CIO mentor! You have someone external from your company coaching your team. I’ve sent 22 people through the NGL program.

It was the right content for my team who were already leaders but needed some refinement in terms of the finer points of technology management and leadership.
