May saw the third chapter of Birmingham Tech Leaders take place.

We initiated our journey with a focus on skills, targeting three key areas:

1. The Traits we need most in our IT teams of the now

2. Evaluating the IT team of the now (baseline)

3. How the team of the future might look
   
   

Discussion

How do we identify the best talent, interviewing techniques and skills gaps in our organisations.

To gain real-time insights, the board sought feedback from Tech Leaders within the region. We aimed to align our efforts and uncover how business can work with academia to uncover the best talent, how we can help shape the curriculum to unburden both our teachers and our students and help develop some of the maverick traits and behaviours that business craves.
