Why IT Pros Need Soft Skills to Compete in 2016

teamleader24532620IT professionals are always in something of a balancing act in the workplace. On the one hand, they need to foster and cultivate skills in tools, technologies and platforms that let them do their jobs. On the other hand, they need to be able to communicate with others, both verbally and in writing, about what they’re doing. They might even need to be able to package and present their ideas or plans in presentation form to convince management or backers to invest in their vision. They must also be able to organize their work assignments, juggle priorities, understand or work with budgets, and see their abilities and IT’s capabilities in light of what their organization seeks to accomplish.

All of these general skills and abilities are part of any job in any field. Thus, even though they don’t strictly fall within the realm of IT, they are still important in the workplace. Areas of professional activity, such as communication, organization, presentation and management, are called soft skills because they lack the hard technical focus necessary to achieve mastery in some technical subject, such as storage, cybersecurity or cloud computing. But soft skills are arguably just as important to long-term personal and professional success in IT as hard skills.

Making the Case for Cultivating Soft Skills

Just recently, I worked on the Global Knowledge 2016 IT Skills and Salary Report, which highlights the results of the company’s survey of over 10,000 respondents around the world from both inside and outside IT job roles. The mix of respondents included managers and individual contributors and covered a broad range of backgrounds, job roles and job tenure. The entire respondent population was unanimous in only a few topic areas, and one of those areas was IT professionals’ need for training to develop soft skills.

The most common soft skills cited as likely to benefit from training included the ability to:

  • Communicate clearly and effectively with co-workers (characterized as “internal communications”) in both verbal and written forms.
  • Lead others without necessarily taking on a management role (characterized as “an ability to lead without authority”).
  • Collaborate well with others and persuade them to undertake and deliver on specific courses of action, deliverables and so forth.

In general, key soft skills must include people management skills to address the topics of collaboration, persuasion and achievement of objectives. Process and project management are also implicit in being able to formulate, specify, assign and track actions and deliverables. Leadership skills are also essential to any kind of activity where input and action from other contributors is required to complete task or project objectives and where individuals must be identified, instructed, monitored and managed as workflows progress, milestones are achieved and deliverables generated.

Training for Soft Skills

Human resources organizations and both in-house and external training organizations can sometimes struggle to understand requirements and appropriate courses or courseware for hard IT skills and knowledge. They are under no such disadvantage when it comes to training on soft skills. Because of soft skills’ general applicability and utility across the board, such organizations understand the value of teaching them and the returns on investment that training and practice in these areas can deliver. That’s why IT managers and professionals can turn to these organizations for training with a high degree of confidence in obtaining useful outcomes.

Global Knowledge offers a substantial soft skills curriculum under the general heading of business skills training. This is further subdivided into communication skills, leadership, management, negotiation, team building, time management and more.

There’s No Disputing the Value of Soft Skills in IT

There’s a certain stereotype in IT of the hard-bitten technologist who desires nothing more than to be left alone to pursue the intricacies and inner workings of tools and technologies. But even the most obsessively focused IT pros must recognize that, ultimately, their skills and knowledge aren’t worth much unless they can communicate them to others and collaborate with others to put those tech skills to work. That’s where soft skills really come into play and where they truly pay off. Building soft skills isn’t just a good career move; it’s absolutely essential to long-term employability and to opening doors to future success.

5 Ways Global Knowledges New Website Makes Getting Training Easier

Getting training is one of the easiest ways to boost your salary or improve business operations. But finding a course that fits into your schedule or at the price you need isn’t so cut and dried. It can be even tougher to find learning tools, news and trends without combing through a bunch of sites.

At Global Knowledge, we’ve completely revamped our website with responsive technology, enhanced functionality and new features designed to remove the stress from the training process — from search to knowledge prep to checkout. The new site offers a simpler, more convenient way to filter through the topics you’re interested in, find learning resources and complete your purchase. And, you can do it all in minutes. new-website-showcase

1. Mobile-Friendly Design

The new website is designed to automatically configure content for the best view based on your screen size, whether you’re on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or other device. You’ll navigate and read training information comfortably and easily without having to zoom in or adjust your settings. This makes reading our white papers and special reports a cinch no matter where you are.

2. Improved Search

You’ve always been able to search our course catalog by top brands like IBM, Cisco and Microsoft or by training topic areas such as project management and cybersecurity. But now, you can drill down your results even further with robust subtopic and brand browsing to find targeted training. You can get super specific and delve into areas that span everything from programming languages and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to predictive analytics and optical and fiber cable training.

And, if you already have the course code, class name, keyword or topic area you interested in, you can always enter it into our redesigned search bar. Not having to wade through a sea of possible matches is a real bonus when you consider that Global Knowledge offers more than 4,000 courses and loads of training resources.

3. Simplified Scheduling

New filters and sorting options help you find professional development that fits your schedule within seconds with the click of a few boxes. Find your course and then select how and where you want to train. With the new site, you can sort your potential courses by:

website-org-page4. Better Browsing Experience

Not sure what training you need? Or just want to learn about the services and courses we have available? Start with the Global Knowledge homepage and hover over the Training, Solutions, Resources and Company tabs for a quick overview of everything from courses and services to logistics, news, resources and tools.

When you want to learn more about a class, the new course pages offer an at-a-glance view of basic course information, pricing and delivery options in a grid format for easy comparison.

Other features we’ve added to the site include:

  • Brand- and topic-specific pages that pair training options with helpful resources like certification road maps, white papers and webinars for a one-stop shopping experience.
  • Additional professional development solutions specifically for individuals, teams and organizations.
  • Solutions based on your industry including healthcare, finance, government, technology and more.*
  • Planning and logistics information with all the need-to-know information about training with Global Knowledge.

5. Simplified Shopping Cart

Buying a course for you or your team is easier than ever with three simple steps: just confirm the items in your cart, complete basic student information and enter payment. With the new cart and checkout features, you can complete a transaction online from beginning to end in less time than it takes to drink a cup of coffee:

  • Apply vendor vouchers or credits.
  • Select and upload purchase orders if that’s your preferred method of payment.
  • Sign in or create a user account before you shop to auto-populate your shipping address for student registration.
  • Easily select, adjust and register the number of students who need training.

 

We’re still rolling out new features and resources, so make sure to check back often. In the meantime, start exploring and let us know what you think by posting a response below.
