Tech executives need new skills to lead in a remote world
After people and property, IT can be one of your biggest investments. Getting it right is important to protect your budget. Having the right people with the right skills and training is crucial.
During the pandemic it was technology leaders and their teams that kept countless organisations working, without them many businesses would simply have ground to a halt.
With the return to the office and the prospect of flexible working for the foreseeable future, technology will remain central to organisations’ strategic priorities. Hybrid working has elevated IT’s role from operational support to essential business partner. This puts strong tech leaders and professionals in a great position, it also raises the stakes. New skills and approaches will be needed for high performing leaders.
