Accelerate: Our Tech Leadership Development program

In a world where software is becoming more and more important, you need experienced and skilled professionals to lead your organization into the future.

But where do you find these professionals? Instead of fishing in the pond everyone in our field is at, it is wise to look closer to home…… within your own organization. Luminis can help accelerate the growth of your top IT talents through our Tech Leadership Development Program.

What is the Accelerate Program?

Accelerate is a Tech Leadership Program for top IT-talents within large organisations.

Accelerate is organized around the central themes; empathy, craftsmanship and entrepreneurship. In 18 months time, participants are accelerated 4 to 5 years in their careers. The program is unique because it involves participants from several different organizations. This allows the participants to look at the IT field from different angles, to have intensive discussions and to learn from other organizations. Each Accelerate participants has a ‘buddy’ from another organization to reflect with, support and learn from each other.

Why Accelerate?

The Tech Leadership Program program aims to form the future generation of IT leaders. Upon successful completion, participants will have the opportunity to take on more responsible roles.

Participants in the Accelerate program are supported to maximize their potential in order to accelerate the achievement of their goals. Based on personal goals, development is tracked during the traineeship. Progress is transparent via a portfolio system.

 

The intensive program is guided by coaches from inside and outside the organization.

  • Development of personal skills such as communication and leadership.
  • Offers IT professionals room for accelerated growth; broadening and deepening technical knowledge.
  • Experiences, knowledge and connections pooled and shared across various organizations.

I think it's great that relevant parties like Bosch and the National Tax Agency recognize the value of the Accelerate program and that we are thus adding even more value to our unique Leadership Development program. Not only in diversity of insights in the technical and human skills sessions, but also definitely in sharing knowledge and building the participants' network.
