About BTM Academy

The BTM Academy, a subsidiary of BTM Corporation, was created as a centralized source of education for executives to explore and learn about the long-standing need to manage business and technology together. Through the BTM Academy's various development and educational initiatives, this goal is achieved across a collection of program offerings designed to meet the needs of today's global leaders. The academy works in close collaboration with leading universities and educational institutes to serve its broad audience.

The objective of these leadership development programs is to provide today's executives with cutting-edge management techniques that will address the management challenges that often result from business model innovation, by converging business and technology. Participants of these programs acquire the expertise required to effectively lead at the enterprise level, and upon completion will receive a Business Technology Management (BTM) Certificate of Participation or Achievement.

It is without a doubt that economic power today is derived from skills and innovation. Societies that do not invest in skills will weaken; it is that simple. One of the goals of BTM is to lead the industry in making business and technology one by developing innovative skills. And the BTM Academy is the leadership development center that will allow the next generation of executives to collaboratively develop these skills.

Delivered in a collaborative environment, the BTM Academy Executive Education Programs are conducted by recognized academic authorities and industry experts.

Participants discover the power of converging business and technology management to create Sustained Innovation and Agile Enterprises; Mitigate Risk and Reduce Redundancy; Enable Consistent Execution and Extended Enterprises; and more.

Executive Roundtables

The mission of our Executive Roundtables is to provide invaluable management insight with ongoing research and threaded dialogues through non-competitive peer-to-peer research, benchmarking, discussion forums, events, and research publications on a variety of business technology management issues such as Agile Enterprises, Sustained Innovation, Extended Enterprises, Governance and Organizational Design, Shared Services, and more.

Assessments and Benchmarking

Based on a proven research methodology, the BTM Academy’s Assessment and Benchmarking baselines an organization’s management maturity towards achieving business technology convergence. In 2007, the BTM Institute introduced the Business Technology Convergence Index. This research report highlights the connection between corporate financial performance and business technology convergence. The research contained within this report is supported by a critical framework, which measures the correlation between business and technology convergence with bottom line performance.
