Over the past year, Microsoft Learning has been working with 27 fabulous managers of IT and Developer teams across Europe and North America as part of our IT Manager Advisory Council.
The primary objective of this group is to provide input and feedback around key Microsoft Learning strategies and products and to help us build solid recognition at a manager level around the value of Microsoft Certification and learning. Members share their insight and experiences as IT managers. They are the voice of the community as we develop offers, tools and materials exclusively for the IT Manager audience.
Members make an 18-24 month commitment to participate on the IT Manager Advisory Council. Each Team hosts an in-person meeting at their regional TechEd and members participate in quarterly Live Meetings. They also provide a quick touch point and monthly feedback regarding ongoing initiatives.
To date, we’ve had very lively discussions regarding topics that range from the value of Microsoft Certification within an organization, to the value of a certified training partner, to how managers leverage social media, and much more.
