Identifying IT Core Competencies

How we as IT professionals approach and do our work is just as important as the technical knowledge we possess. Creating high-performing teams that are knowledgeable, adaptable, and align with institutional business objectives is the responsibility of every IT leader. By identifying behavioral core competencies, IT leaders can focus on critical capabilities rather than the large "universe" of behaviors that may be desired at any given time. By identifying these core competencies, IT leaders will develop a common language that can be used to assess individual and team performance for central IT and distributed IT organizations. During this session, we will discuss specific behavioral competencies and identify desired core competencies for individual team members, managers/supervisors, and executive leadership.

OUTCOMES: Understand behavioral competencies and their importance to an IT organization * Use a framework to define core competencies for individual team members, managers/supervisors, and executives * Identify the "critical differential" IT competencies
