The main aim of this initiative is to improve the skills of the top and executive managers for an efficient and unitary development on medium and long term of the ICT sector in their own organisations.

The project also proposes to facilitate the access of woman managers to the training, thus offering equal chances to both men and women in the decisional process of the company. Short presentation General presentation of the project The start point in identifying the needs that leaded toward the present project initiative is the finding of the fact that in most companies the ICT specialists are not at the same time managers, or, the other way round, the managers do not have enough knowledge in foreseeing the evolution of the ICT field at the European level, so that to be able to take decisions on medium and long term. Also women are practically left aside from this prevalent technical field (the number of women working here is much smaller than the number of men) which is a significant disadvantage for both women and the companies that do not profit from the feminine creativity. The purpose of the project is to create the basis of a specialist training (ICT strategist) at an European level, capable to take strategical decisions concerning the ICT sector in the company. In order to be effective, a result like this has to come together with an attractive financial proposal, so that a wide range of organisations to afford training its staff. The training tools and methods previewed – based on Internet and multimedia applications – are the only way so far able to offer quality in the educational process at lower prices.
