In today’s new reality the structure of the workforce, and the future of work itself, is being rewritten. The frequency of changing market and operating conditions continue to accelerate, with enterprise, societal, and economic leaders working hard to understand how best to adapt to these changes. Designing an adaptive, resilient workforce model is key to enabling the market speed operating model.
Watch our video and read on to learn about developing an IT workforce strategy to match evolving technology skills.
Faced with unforeseen challenges, the workforce has been transformed. Consequently, several factors require consideration when discussing the future of work.
- the workforce as a whole, wellness and well-being
- the role of automation and augmentation in work
- new ways of working
- new capability, development, and skill expectations
- the employee “deal” and incentives.
A 360o view of technologists
Technology leaders will increasingly be responsible for shaping a distributed technology ecosystem across the business, IT, partners, and suppliers.
Intentional learning paths for the enterprise “technologist, citizen developer, or business engineer” is a key differentiator of digital leaders.
To deliver on enterprise-wide digital capability, IT must play a significant role in how employees, partners, and the extended ecosystem develops.
The CIO is a vital partner in ensuring that the enterprise talent strategy is aligned to deliver on digital business outcomes.
The solution
Digital leaders think differently about their workforce; they utilize an adaptive IT workforce which supports the Market Speed Operating Model while advancing an enterprise-wide, digitally enabled workforce.
Organizations with an adaptive IT workforce share three common attributes:
- shaping the workforce and extended ecosystem to be future ready
- reimagining the employee journey with an inclusive, 360° view of technology skills
- establish a leadership culture that emphasizes values, collaboration and empathy.
