Description
Digital transformation is accelerating and is increasing the demand for a new generation of leaders with hybrid skillsets, capable to manage IT but also co-create digital organizations. It requires professionals, trained in IS and IT disciplines, spanning business, computing, or engineering schools, to grow beyond their fragmented and competing specializations, and work together within a more integrated IS-IT profession. We report on a recent initiative, entitled Business Technology Management (BTM), and its ongoing applied research project, the development of a new BTM Body of Knowledge (BOK). Launched in Canada and supported by 22 colleges and universities, it aims at rebranding IS and IT programs, ensure collaboration between disciplines, and create more seamless career paths. Our paper offers an update on the BTM initiative and outlines the BTM BOK as an integrated transdisciplinary competency framework.
