The IT industry as we know it today has been in existence for about 50 years and like the technology, changes and evolves constantly. In the past those employed in IT have not necessarily been seen as professionals and have been regarded mainly as providers of technical solutions. The business case for changing this perception is strong and in 2005 BCS initiated a Professionalism in IT programme with cross industry participation.
Further information about the programme is available at www.bcs.org/professionalism. The reality is that IT (Information and Technology) doesn’t just support business it powers business and the success of the industry is being be measured by impact on business and successful business outcomes. Critical to this success is the part played by those in senior IT leadership positions.
Research sponsored by BCS and NCC was carried out in 2006/07 to identify the specific, distinctive competencies exhibited by those who are considered successful in these senior roles. The objective was to establish the competencies and capabilities of the most successful Chief Information Officers (CIOs), and others in senior positions.
