The content is dense but very interesting, and I'm going to be able to rely on the quality support later on. The trainer was really top notch, clear, precise and educational.

3 / 5

The training focused on examples from the public sector, which were not very representative of the private sector. Two and a half hours were devoted to the history of IT, with a thirty-minute session on Elon Musk and innovation, which was deemed politically inappropriate and irrelevant, as Musk has mainly developed existing companies. The trainer, employed by ACADYS, seemed biased in promoting his company's services to help set up a mature CIO.
