IT Workers Confront ‘Job Shock’ - Computerworld

If you wanted to continue to feed yourself, you’d need to do three things:

1. Network with the people in your local economy who best understand the trends and current economic “rents” associated with a given set of skills — the IT staffing firms. They have great data and would love to talk to you.

2. Understand the next three strategic steps your organization is going to make, and build deep personal relationships with the executive platoons that are going to drive those initiatives.

3. Get yourself trained and educated.

Some good advice for understanding and adapting to the changing IT environment. As I tell my classes all the time, technology for technology sake does not add value to the firm. This is a key for any profession, but specifically IT as it is starting to be seen as more of a utility.
