Organisational design and human resource management are mandatory skills for the CIO. Few functions are the subject of change more than the IT function with that change often being driven by external influences. Managing the moral, standing, motivation, workload and advancement of people within IT is a challenge.
IT personnel are subject to multiple internal change drivers that can stimulate or disenfranchise performance. As technology advances so too must the skills and knowledge of the IT worker. For developers creativity is a trait that requires nurturing within defined boundaries to protect standards, workflow and investment. The balanced team comprises a hybrid mix of skills, experience and knowledge at different stages of development. As technology cycles so too must the balance of the team.
When organisations embark on major transformation IT is often at the heart. If this is driven by major system implementation then the only certainty is that IT personnel must adapt and develop. It is at such times that the soft issues become of more import and the CIO requires delivering empathetic leadership.
