Workforce Planning & Development
Mon Sep 8, 2003 - Tue Sep 9, 2003
As IT evolves into a more integral business partner and change
leader, the skill requirements and development needs for the IT
organization will evolve as well. Integrated technology infrastructures
create the opportunity to manage IT resources enterprise-
wide, changing the context but not the need for workforce
development efforts and talent management. These main discussion
themes are summarized in the meeting summary referenced below:
Aligning IT with Business Needs
Many business leaders are looking for IT to take a
leadership role in the organization, as an active partner in
identifying and delivering business value through
technology innovation. This new role often requires a
significant change management effort within the IT
organization.
Enterprise-wide Resource Management
Market pressures have led many enterprises to seek
operational efficiencies and improved responsiveness to
customers through consolidation and centralization. Global
single-instance ERP implementations and the integration of
business unit silos are two examples of this trend, and both
create new opportunities and challenges for IT
organizations.
Talent Management & Training
In the midst of changing roles and organization structures,
talent management remains a critical factor in the longterm
effectiveness of an IT organization. Members
compared approaches and models for the early
identification and development of top talent and skills
training programs for new managers.
