The flexible IT workforce

How the nexus of talent, skills and leadership is forging the future of IT

Now more than ever, tech leaders have an opportunity to increase their influence and the value that they provide to their organization. To capitalize on this opportunity, a shift in mindset from “doer” of all things technology to an “enabler” will be crucial. Organizations will need to create a flexible IT workforce that can be as nimble and innovative as the technologies that permeate their enterprise. This will require a convergence of traditional business and technical skills and the creation of a new ecosystem of tech talent.
