St. Louis Technology Leadership Experience to Launch New Cohort for High Potential IT Professionals

St. Louis, October 23, 2019: A group of St. Louis-based, high-potential and emerging technology leaders will begin their journey to take on tomorrow’s C-level roles when the St. Louis Technology Leadership Experience (TechLX) launches its next cohort of 30 participants on Thursday, October 24.

The goal of TechLX is to strengthen local participants’ leadership capabilities and business acumen through the development of new skills, and to provide advice and support by experienced mentors and trusted peer networks. More than 60 participants kicked off the first two cohorts earlier this year and will graduate in December.

Organized by St. Louis-based Technology Partners Inc., the St. Louis TechLX program includes a variety of activities to help transform participants from solutions providers to strategic business partners and innovation anticipators, said Greg Nichols, president of Technology Partners.

"“There is a massive digital transformation underway in large and mid-sized businesses throughout the greater St. Louis area. Today’s IT professionals have a greater sense of urgency to drive business innovation and thought-leadership as their companies transition to new revenue-producing or expense- and time-saving technologies. So, this type of leadership training is essential for these professionals and the companies for whom they work.””

- Greg Nichols, President of Technology Partners

The sessions include the equivalence of four days of on-site workshops focusing on leadership and core competency training; three sessions of collaborative brainstorming and problem-solving; three individual meetings with business mentors; several informal sessions with sponsors, mentors, and participants; and, individual study.

The three primary sessions are: Leading Technical People: Consulting Skills -- Becoming a Trusted Advisor; and, Marketing IT’s Value.
