Week 8 - MBA 6101 - CASA Top Skills
Hello,
The times change and so does the needs of business. As new
fields emerge, develop, and mature, unique skill sets develop that best compliment
the trends in the field. Roles such as diversity officers become part of the
corporate structure. A position that would not exist ten years ago. With new
careers bursting into existence every year, individuals must work to set themselves
up for success in the ever-changing world of business.
As business continues to integrate with information systems,
and the cost of implementing becomes cheaper, to the point that even small
firms and their employees interact extensively with technology. This change is
reflected in LinkedIn’s survey of most in demand skills that employers are
looking for. Skills such as software development, data analysis, and digital
marketing ranked high in what is in demand by companies (LinkedIn, 2021). With
technology skills ranking so high on the wish list of employers, it is easy to
see how technology and information systems have become part of the fabric of an
organization.
What is to note is that LinkedIn’s list includes many
management roles to add to one’s skill set. This included project management and
product management (LinkedIn, 2021). To implement and integrate the necessary
systems to compete in the 21st century business scape, individuals
who can take a concept to reality are needed. Without the person, a fancy
computer and information system is useless. A leader is still a necessity even
in today’s technology fueled world.
