Creating the IT Workforce of the Future involves an appreciation of the changing nature of work, and of the workforce needed to enable digital transformation.
MINDSET & FOCUS
- From a fixed mindset to a growth mindset
- From a focus on predictability and efficiency to speed-to-value and innovation (fail fast)
TEAMS & BARRIERS
- From siloed teams with coordinated handoffs to integrated, cross-functional teams without barriers
- From larger, global delivery teams to smaller, agile “two-pizza” teams
SKILLS & PROCESSES
- From I-shaped teams with a depth of experience/skills to T-shaped teams with depth and breadth of experience/skills
- From structured, linear (“waterfall”) processes to faster, iterative (“agile”) processes
MANAGEMENT & DECISIONS
- From large-batch deployment to lean MVP (minimum viable product) management and small batching
- From hierarchical to collaborative decision-making
TOOLS & TECH
- From highly skilled and manual to automated coding, testing, deployment
- From legacy tools and technology (ERP, CRM, platforms, monolithic apps, etc.) to modern engineering (microservices, cloud, big data, APIs, containers, loosely coupled architectures
