Theme Description
• IT management is increasingly focused on business change in addition to technology management. This means a broader influencing role across the organisation and requires strong leadership skills. The technology manager role is primarily a supplier of IT and needs a mix of technical and management skills. In contrast the business change elements require strong business and interpersonal skills.
• The theme group will explore the implications for IT leaders in developing their own skills and those of their staff as well as the wider business community. Research will be presented on IT Management competencies from a variety of sources. The discussion will also cover the skills needed to enhance the professional disciplines associated with IT including business analysis, project management, service management and architecture.

The BCS Professionalismin IT Programme
If we are to achieve a more professional approach to the exploitation of IT, we will need an IT profession which:
• Is defined in terms of its ability to play a full part in all stages of IT exploitation • Is seen as – and sees itself as – an integral part of the business • Has appropriate non-technical skills, including management, business and leadership skills, as core competences• Is about both Information and Technology• Lays greater emphasis on the accreditation of current capability and competence• Demands greater personal responsibility on the part the practitioner• Is attractive to a wider group of entrants than at present – including
those groups alienated by the current image of the profession
