Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Good afternoon everybody. Welcome to the aunagural cipd exam webinar! It is a great pleasure for us to hose this event and we do hope that you find it beneficial for your revision. By way of introduction, my name is Stephen Littler, and I am an In-House academic tutor for the CIPD course here at ICS. On the line today, we also have Margaret McCluckie who is the Head of our CIPD programmes. She is online today to help and support me with any questions that are presented, but also give you the chance to engage with senior members of staff at ICS. We also have Paul Mason online who is our Learning Technologist. We couldn't have had a webinar today had it not been for Paul – so I greatly appreciate his help and assistance. If you experience any issues during the event, please let him know via the chat box to the right and we will do our best to deal with the issue today. We don't anticipate any problems though! So without further ado, let us look at what we will cover today.....
  2. Let’s take a closer look at the IT expertise gap. Most IT organizations include staff who hold multiple product certifications. In general, IT vendor certifications provide good product-specific experience but they in no way develop the expertise to optimize a business’s customer service portal in the cloud. In addition, as the certification industry has focused on increasing volumes, many programs have become more “knowledge based” and compromised the hands-on experiential elements. New technology expertise paradigm: injecting business value into IT skill development At an industry level, we need to provide new ways to develop and source this expertise. With the accelerating pace of change in both business and technology, we need a framework to provide concise, relevant, end-to-end experiences that help IT professionals stay current on the volume of change in a simple and consumable way. This applies both to the existing IT professionals as well as developing new ones with the expertise to create business value. Different expertise: (from previous page) There are two key expertise attributes that Business and IT leaders require. Multivendor, end-to-end, cross-platform, solution experience, and a demonstrated understanding of the business and how to leverage technology to achieve business outcomes. Those certifications that remain in demand are providing experience with cutting-edge technologies that create meaningful business differentiation.
