"By 2025, 90% of enterprises will be affected by IT skills shortages, costing approximately $6.5 trillion globally."
I do, however, want to pause and pose a few other important questions.
Building skills is the same. Do you know how many of what you need? A crucial part of this question is: Have you quantified what you think you have?
Within the LRMG IT Talent DigitalCampus IT team, we can help you answer some of these crucial questions. Yes, we can provide you with the vehicle, Capability Academies, to build your talent pool, but we can also assist you with more. IT Staffing Diagnostics and Benchmarks will allow you to clarify the skills that you actually have versus the skills that you actually need. This will ultimately help you to limit the threat of not having the required skills.
Furthermore, we can assist you through role definition, competency frameworks, job descriptions and grading, as well as rewards benchmarking to ensure that you can keep the right skills. We can, through industry-aligned technical IT skills assessments and proficiency reviews, measure the depth of your skills.
With all this information that we’ve gathered, we can ensure that Capability Academies are in line with the desired outcome of having enough of the right skills at the right time. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting a number of articles to expand on the areas mentioned in this post.
