Masters Degree in Data Centre Leadership and Management Topics

Year 1 - PG Certification (PGCert)

The first year of the program enables you to develop your expertise in three key themes that are at the heart of any business: leadership, sustainability and financial
management. The program starts with an introduction to leadership in the data centre sector, exploring different approaches to leading in a complex and dynamic business. You
will then go on to look at issues of sustainability and design, from the business management perspective. Leaders also need a sound understanding of money issues, so financial
management is also included coupled with how financial considerations influence you as a leader.

Data Centre Leadership Sustainable Design for High Capacity Data Finance for Non-Financial Managers

u Evolution of leadership Centres u Understanding and evaluating financial statements
u Complexity theory, dynamic organisational u Effective budgeting and control
environments, strategic alignment in organisations, u Modular data centre design for reliability, u Choosing the most profitable investments

innovation, creativity and change capability in u Use of cloud technology to minimise the impact of
dynamic environments data centres on the environment
u Change management

Year 2 - PG Diploma (PGDip)

The second year takes your expertise to the next level. You will start off by exploring key data centre issues of infrastructure management, security and disaster recovery, in
particular looking from the perspective of the business. To be successful, a data centre business is dependent upon its people, so you will explore human resource management,
organisational behaviour and strategies for maximising performance in teams. You will also develop your understanding of decision making, which is particularly important in
critical services.

Year 3 - MA

The final year expands your horizons even further, giving you the chance to develop your thought leadership and address specific business issues. First, in the “Contemporary
Issues in Leadership and Management” module, you will explore themes in the data centre sector and gain an in-depth understanding of issues that are important to you.
Next, you will develop your research skills, giving you the expertise to frame, plan and deliver research - this will provide a platform for your academic studies and will also
enable you to develop new, credible and robust knowledge in your business. Finally, you will put all of your learning into practice by developing and delivering a major project
(“dissertation” or “thesis”). You can look at this as a piece of consultancy work which could address a live issue in your workplace, or be based on a theme in the data centre
sector as a whole. Your major project will be one of the defining moments of your Masters Degree program and could open the door to further study or career development.

Competency & Confidence
Assessment Modelling

The World’s First Competency & Confidence Assessment Modelling (CCAM®) Tool for the Data Centre Sector available only from
CNet Training.

Risk affects every organisation, although the types of threats that businesses face will depend on varying factors, yet many businesses struggle to accurately identify
and counter risks effectively.

CNet has launched the world’s first Competency and Confidence Assessment Modelling (CCAM®) Tool for the data centre sector and has the ability to revolutionise the
way data centre managers identify, manage and mitigate people risk.

The CCAM® Tool provides real-time analysis of both competence and confidence for individuals and teams and exposes root causes of employee behaviour (positive
and negative) in data centre facilities. Its proven complex software, which is supported by a team of psychologists and operates within International Test Commission
guidelines, works through various criteria to identify people risk. It focuses on where individuals’ real skills, knowledge and ability gaps are and, through subsequent
targeted intervention, behaviour can be positively changed and subsequently risks reduced.

The results of each assessment allow the right course of development action to be planned and taken to address individuals’ weaknesses, and with the ability to take
the CCAM® Tool assessment again post-development, it ensures any costs incurred have been utilised effectively, thus maximising the opportunity to achieve ROI. It
can also be used as a valuable pre-employment tool allowing managers to understand the development investment required for potential new staff.

Is your Business at Risk? What is CCAM®?

On average 79% of all staff pose some or significant risk to the business - this u An SaaS based people risk platform

The CCAM® Tool provides an analysis of, and scores, each individual within your team to identify:

u Current employee behaviour
u What each employee - UNDERSTANDS, DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, MISUNDERSTANDS, including current confidence levels
u Which employees are going to - apply what is RIGHT, apply what is WRONG
u Where the knowledge, skills and ability gaps are
u Where the risk is
u Where development budget needs to be allocated
u The scoring provides a thorough overview of each individual and your entire team. You set an ideal score to show where you would like to be and this can be
