The CTO's Challenge
From a personnel perspective, IT Production Management is unique because:
- IT Production is highly "reactive"
- IT Production is a very technical discipline
- In some cases, IT Production Managers are technical experts who have graduated to management status but often with little formal management training.
- Managing IT Production requires a complex combination of Management techniques and IT techniques.
The Birkman Method is an industry-leading personality assessment and related reports that facilitates team building, executive coaching, leadership development and interpersonal conflict resolution.
Using the Birkman Method, a manager receives a multi-dimensional portrait of each individual, highlighting their usual behaviours, stress behaviours, underlying needs and motivations and organizational orientations.
A manager who has a personal Birkman Assessment can better understand his own skills, abilities and how to improve the way he deals with his team and peers.
A manager who has access to a Birkman Assessment of each of his team can better understand how to manage that team.
Benefits of personality assessments
The use of assessments has become essential to organizations trying to put the right people into the right positions, provide effective training, develop managers and leaders, promote people into positions where they will succeed, and create highly functional teams.
The use of assessments has also become essential to the individual wanting to confidently choose the right career path for greater self-fulfilment and success.
By making use of the Birkman Method, IT Production Managers are able to identify and categorise some of the key People and Management aspects of managing the IT Production teams.
This aspect complements the MOPS consultancy approach, in that the MOPS approach assists CTOs to define what to do in order to improve the management of their IT Production department. The Birkman Assessment can provide valuable insight into how to engage with the team members in order to achieve the desired result.
