Four Realities Are Changing
the Way Work Gets Done
■■

■■
■■
Greater Interdependence:
Employees now work with an
average of 10 people to get a
job done. However, 90% of
IT professionals lack all of the
collaborative skills needed for
interdependent work.
Frequent Organizational Change:
The average employee takes
two years to calibrate to major
organizational changes, but
experiences a major change every
seven months.
Greater Knowledge Intensity:
Ninety-seven percent of IT
employees undertake work that
requires analysis and judgment.
More than half do not have the
necessary analytical skills.
More Technology Choice: More
than 50% of employees are using
external, non-company-endorsed
information and tools, but IT
professionals lack the skill set
needed to help guide responsible
business and technology decisions.

Why Now
Performance drivers have changed, but IT has failed to adapt. In fact, only 10%
of IT professionals have the skills necessary for high performance. Furthermore,
80% of IT organizations do not provide training and development on the
correct competencies. In the new work environment, where technical expertise
alone is insufficient for high performance, understanding your organization’s
propensity to display the right set of IT-specific competencies can directly
inform talent development investments.
Our Solution
Based on the 12 competencies of a world-class IT professional, the CEB
IT Talent Assessment combines objective self-assessments and manager
performance ratings to provide a unique view of underlying potential and
observed performance on each competency.
Tailored reporting and external benchmarking against over 1,400 IT
organizations allows you to analyze gaps in performance, identify highpotential staff, and provide tailored individual and team action plans. Kick-start
development efforts with DevelopmentCoach, an online application to embed
job-relevant development activities linked to each IT competency.
