Upskilling The IncumbentOrganizations need to rethink their business objectives and align their workforce in a strategic way to achieve optimum returns. The CIOs of today are harnessing learning into their frameworks and are known as Chief Learning Officers. They are the ones responsible to get optimum output out of the existing resource investment. There has to be a strategic approach to identify areas of improvement in the current spectrum of resources, and optimize them for building the workplace of the future. This can be achieved by initiating organization-wide upskilling programmes with incentives and recognition. The incumbents of today can leverage these campaigns to boost their skills as well as enhance themselves to meet future demands.4. Extending The VisionHiring resources as and when needed, and building project silos will only cause ruptures that will have an irreversible effect on the organizations vision as well as ROI. Similarly, creating a vision extending it to the end-resources will cause serious damage too. The first step is to design an umbrella vision mapped with its IT demands and skill-set required. The next step is to announce it to the whole organization to bring everybody together to work towards achieving the same. Project leaders need to train their resources not only in technical skills but also in soft skills such as planning, decision-making, time management, etc. to enhance their understanding of the business-level objectives. This will lead to a workforce that works together to create experiences rather than products, and relationships rather than alliances.In conclusion, human resources need to rethink and redesign their IT needs aligned with organizational strategic objectives, and create future-ready workforce in a next-gen fluid workplace that will help them to shape the experiences of tomorrow.
