| dc.description.abstract | As changes in Information Technology and organisations move into the sophisticated areas of client/server computing and open, integrated architectures, the IS professional needs to develop an increasing range of skills and abilities to produce the required systems. By synthesising the results of local research and identifying important issues from international research, the author argues that both academia and industry must react together to create a spirit of lifelong learning in IS staff. Universities offering IS degrees must look at common frameworks and IS management must put more resources into the education and training of IS professionals. Only by strongly encouraging a move to lifelong learning will companies have adequate people skills to develop tomorrow's highly complex systems. | en |
