RESTON, VA (May 29, 2008) Learning Tree International (NASDAQ NM: LTRE) has added a new course to its Leadership and Management Skills curriculum entitled IT Relationship Management: Aligning IT with the Business. During the 3-day course, attendees will take part in performance-based activities—led by an expert instructor—in order to gain the practical skills and knowledge required to serve as an IT advisor within an organization.

Participants will also be taught how to:

• Build a strong alignment between IT and the business
• Perform a current-state analysis of IT’s services, governance and culture
• Choose IT projects that have a high likelihood of building trust
• Create clear and effective service delivery agreements, including SLAs, MOUs and MOAs
• Differentiate their internal IT services from competitive solutions

Jennifer Urick, Vice President of Product Development for Learning Tree, said, "This course will provide IT professionals with the opportunity to acquire the management and interpersonal skills that will enable them to successfully bridge the divide that can occur between IT departments and individual business units."

IT Relationship Management: Aligning IT with the Business is valuable for anyone who represents IT to the business or vice-versa. In addition, IT managers and professionals who have experience as business analysts, project managers or IT liaisons could also benefit from the course.

IT Relationship Management: Aligning IT with the Business augments additional Learning Tree courses, including Management Skills, Facilitation Skills, Communication Skills: Results Through Collaboration, Influence Skills: Getting Results Without Direct Authority and Introduction to Business Analysis: Defining Successful Projects.
