The digital age is bringing about profound changes for the IT industry, its organizations, and its workforce. IT professionals are being challenged to think and work differently, develop new skills, and employ new practices to respond to societal changes.

In this session, we will uncover core competencies that every IT professional will need for the future and outline a new model for IT career profiling.
