On Tuesday 19  June 2012, CIONET Belgium hosted an event on the topic of IT Talent Management.

The agenda featured the following topics:

• The ICT-professional in perspective, by Guido Dedene (Professor Management Informatics, K.U.L.)
• The Labour Market and Talent Management, by Luc Dekeyser (R&D Director, SD Worx)
• IT Talent Management @ ADMB, by Koen Van Loo (Director ICT, ADMB)

Key learnings from this event:

• There is an increased understanding of ICT but serious lack of innovation at the same time.
• Pairs development can drive up productivity and customer’s satisfaction.
• There is a strong need to globalise the IT function and to get the talents where they are.
• Recrute for the attitude, then train for the skills.
• Put more emphasis is on self-management.
