About us
Level IT Up is a bespoke training and mentorship venture that was born out of a shared frustration at the expensive and bland options available in the corporate training space. Over a glass of wine, founders Clare Simes and Tarryn Penny agreed that surely, they could come up with something better to offer highly customisable training, rich in real-life examples rather than theory, delivered in a fun and engaging way. Clare and Tarryn, both 20-year veterans of the IT industry, began careers as Business Analysts, before expanding into Project Management and Change Management methodologies and practices. Both have worked for a range of industries including large, global corporations like Pernod Ricard, Disney and Vodafone, as well as local government organisations, small startups and software companies. They both happen to have husbands in the wine industry, and share a love for wine, their dogs, and their children. Sometimes in that order! We focus on IT Professional Services including Business Analysis, Change Management, and Project Management. The company's offerings are designed to provide practical, real-world guidance that goes beyond generic course materials. At Level IT Up we have a passion to help individuals and companies achieve their true potential through upskilling and mentoring, while contributing to a higher IT Project success rate across the country. Our training programs leverage insights from flagship projects to impart best practices, tools and frameworks that can be applied immediately on the job. If you are interested in affordable, tailored solutions that can be delivered as one-offs, or part of a series, get in touch and let’s talk about a solution that fits your people and organisation.

Level IT Up reposted this
So, I guess the main question about Level IT Up at the moment is what sort of training are they talking about and how could they help me? Well, as our training is tailored to each customer it's quite a hard question to answer succinctly, the answer at a very high level is "If you're undertaking an IT Project and need some help – get in touch". A more helpful answer maybe to start by asking you the questions: - Do you have a project team with little project maturity that doesn't understand what it means to be part of a project team? - Are you using Subject Matter Experts to fill the role of Business Analyst and need to provide them with the understanding of what this responsibility means? - Are you undertaking a project that has change management impacts across your business? - Are you starting a project and need to bring the team together with a clear vision of where everyone fits and what is expected of them? - Are you currently working on a project where your project team is struggling with completing assigned tasks successfully? - Are you running workshops but struggling to elicit the information you need from attendees? - Do you have project team members who know what they are doing but are lacking a bit of experience and confidence and could use a sounding board to run ideas and issues past? If you can relate to any of the above, or just fancy a chat, give us a shout and we can grab a coffee and talk about how we can help you and your IT projects.
