As the technology talent war rages on, we know that for an organization to develop a business advantage it needs to secure a talent advantage. For an IT organization to deliver on its business and IT strategic goals, it needs to have the right talent within the organization and enable them to execute in their roles at the highest levels. Many clients ask Q2 Strategies to assess their core IT capabilities to understand how to optimize the current talent and identify areas where new talent is needed. Other clients lean on us to help them create clarity of their talent strategy, to drive increased agility within the existing IT workforce, to provide leaders better transparency into talent density, or to support strategic workforce planning that drives alignment of proper talent in the right roles doing the appropriate work.
