Accidental IT Leader webinars
You didn’t plan to run IT. You inherited it: the provider contract, security questionnaires, software renewals. Once a month we explore practical strategies to address common challenges, without the IT jargon.

What we cover
Every month we tackle a different problem faced by our accidental IT leaders community. These are a snapshot of the topics we plan to cover in upcoming webinars.
Managing your IT provider
What good looks like, what you’re entitled to ask for, and the early signs a relationship is drifting.
Security without the theatre
The handful of controls that actually reduce risk for a business under 200 staff — and what you can safely deprioritise.
Spend you can defend
Reading an IT invoice, spotting licences nobody uses, and explaining the bill to your board without hand-waving.
Change that sticks
Small, unglamorous improvements that compound — instead of the big transformation that stalls in month four.
