Hot & Cold Business Skills by 2010
The most popular corporate IT workers by 2010 may be the ones with no deep technical skills at all.
The programming and support jobs will have become less highly-paid in the U.S.A. or abroad. Instead of this, IT departments will be occupied with “versatilists” – people with a technology background who know the business sector inside and out, and can cultivate relationships both inside and outside the company.
That is the colclusion to which three research groups that have studied the IT workforce landscape for 2010 arrived at. What is causing these changes? They include changes in consumer behavior, an increase in corporate mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing, the proliferation of mobile devices and growth in stored data.
