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.
