Episode notes
Deep Budget Cuts Force Radical Priorities
- When budgets tighten, organizations force deep reprioritization and often cut aggressively rather than trimming slightly.
- Big cuts remove 'wiggle room' and force leaders to eliminate low-value projects and roles quickly.
Skills Shortage May Be Structural
- Gartner's Mavric Research argues organizations should 'stop investing in IT skills' and focus on outcomes instead of hiring more talent.
- They predict unfilled roles rising from ~25% today to ~75% by 2030, implying hiring can't close the gap.
Shift From Skills To Outcomes
- Reframe hiring focus from accumulating IT skills to delivering measurable IT outcomes and leveraging vendors when possible.
- Prioritize using specialized providers, cloud services, or vendors to achieve outcomes instead of chasing every skill in-house.
