Decisions, decisions…

Decisions, decisions…

There are two ways to choose the Tech MBA specialisation: popularity among tech professionals (personal preferences) and real market demand. The comprehensive guide we put together for you focused on the latter because putting yourself on the wrong career path doesn’t make sense.

We are talking about analysing 2.2 million tech-related jobs currently available on major job boards and ranking specialisations based on demand and career prospects. While some of the findings were expected, others intrigued us. See for yourself.

While we're on intriguing subjects, two weeks ago, we asked you: What do you see as the most significant challenge in your organisation’s current working practices?

After aggregating data, this is what we got:

As you can suspect, we developed a series of immediately applicable solutions to these challenges, offering technology leaders the practical tools to navigate workplace complexities effectively. Take a look.

Also today…

Does your organisation use Agentic AI in daily operations? If so or if you are planning to use it, explore fundamental challenges backed by real-world case studies, and the best mitigation strategies to ensure safe, accountable and effective AI deployment. Read on.

And just to remind you once again about our February Masterclass (Tuesday, 25th February 2025,1400-1700 GMT). Michael Spiteri, ex-CDO Santander and ex-CTTO Ergomed PLC will show you how to turn “data-driven” goals into reality instead of being stuck in outdated processes and missed opportunities. Check down for more details.

" A Game-Changer for Tech Leaders

Completing the Digital MBA for Technology Leaders at CTO Academy has been an incredibly valuable experience. The program is thoughtfully designed, blending strategic leadership, business acumen, and technology management in a way that’s highly relevant to today’s fast-paced digital landscape.

As an IT leader specializing in M&A, infrastructure, and digital transformation, I found the course particularly useful in bridging the gap between technical expertise and executive leadership. The content was well-structured, with actionable insights that I could immediately apply to my role. The instructors brought real-world experience, making complex topics engaging and practical.

CTO Academy has built a fantastic learning platform, and I’d highly recommend this program to technology leaders looking to elevate their strategic and business leadership skills.

Thanks to the team for an outstanding experience!"

Enrollment still includes 12 months of free CTO Academy Membership.

CTO Community Pulse: This Week's Highlights

#Membership: We took a slightly different approach with our P2P sessions this week. Instead of the Breakout Rooms, we had an Open Mic Session that focused on "AI Tools That Actually Work".

#Ask-the-Community: A member is seeking advice on how DevOps is best reflected in an org structure. She's trying to get under the layer of “DevOps” the culture/everyone does it statements, and more into what the IT Ops team means when they refer to “DevOps”

#Fractional-CTO: The next fCTO online meetup will be on Weds Feb 19th, 1700 GMT.
