    • Description

    Executives rely on IT to drive business outcomes, through staff within a central IT group or Line of Business (LoB). Most C-level leaders cite ‘business transformation and organization change’ as the #1 issue that needs more attention.
    The Cisco Building Business Specialist Skills (BTBBSS) v1.0 is a 2,5-day instructor-led course that introduces the learners to the business-related knowledge and skills to create higher IT value. Learners can then improve business effectiveness, grow revenue through new products or markets, and improve IT–business understanding.
    This course is based on 45–60-minute topics. This flexibility allows participants to acquire skills in a flexible, modular fashion over several weeks or through a focused, 2.5 day experience.
