1 Technical skills

Technical skills are the foundation of information systems, as they allow you to design, develop, implement, and maintain the hardware, software, networks, and databases that support the IS functions. Technical skills include programming languages, tools, frameworks, methodologies, standards, and best practices that are relevant to your specific domain and industry. To acquire and update your technical skills, you need to invest in continuous learning, practice, and certification. You also need to keep up with the latest trends, innovations, and challenges in the IS field.

Really funny. Isn't that what Education is for? If in doubt, just ask a simple legal Question and you know. Oh, joyful is the subject of a Global Template when it comes to SAP and Business. The fail rate is nearly 100%.

To balance technical and business skills in information systems, considering some of the education and knowledge you’ve got about it, due to experiences that maybe you can contribute it in to make your work easier, the way you communicate between people (suppliers, project persons etc), how you organise your business (strategy, plannings of operation and quality), problem solving ideas and confrontal from the period of this business being launch, how you keep yourself updated and informed of any news, how you apply your skils and last but not least how you mix this all into 1 act to find the balance so that you did not overdo or under do your plans while working on it.

What I require of my team is to be able to perform the task rather than tell me about it. We live in a time where the information to answer questions are in the palm of our hands. Being able to do the desired task in a stress filled environment is something else all together. I can always have someone study for a certification but in most cases what I need to hire is someone who can hit the ground running. Who has skills that re proven and ready to be demonstrated. Certification holders are "a dime a dozen" but technically skilled people are an asset that supports and grows a business. i believe we are missing the human quotient in the equation. I have had many applicants look good on paper. Those that could demonstrate those skills I hired

2 Business skills

Business skills are the complement of technical skills, as they enable you to apply your IS knowledge and solutions to real-world problems and opportunities. Business skills include strategic thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, project management, and leadership. To develop and enhance your business skills, you need to understand the business environment, objectives, and needs of your organization and its stakeholders. You also need to communicate effectively with different audiences, work in teams, and manage resources and risks.

I believe it's best to balance technical and business skills in information systems by furthering your education. Education doesn't necessarily means another degree. You may take a course tailored to your technical desires, a weekend class offered by an IT group, or pursue a certification.

Integrate Curricula: Meld technical IT courses with business strategy subjects. Our IT professionals benefit from understanding the larger business canvas. Clear Communication: Advocate for "jargon-free" dialogue. It's crucial that our tech teams convey complex ideas in a manner digestible to all. Align with Objectives: Every technical project should have a clear business goalpost. It ensures our IT efforts always serve the broader mission. Continuous Feedback: Periodic roundtables between IT and business units can be invaluable. It ensures we're on the same page and fosters mutual respect. Stay Current: Encourage teams to keep abreast of both the latest in technology and business trends. An informed team is an effective team.

I somewhat agree, but also disagree. As a SAP Sales and Distribution Consultant, I see a LOT of openings that also ask for Accounts Receivable. Ops, did someone just forgot the SOX compliance? Sure, I can go into AR and do all kinds of things. I learned Accounting. But that is a big NO, NO. And there is a RULE, that as a Consultant, you never touch a LIVE SYSTEM, unless it is a red hot issue and whatever you do is well documented and approved. Seems to me that the principals of Security and Change Management are the first victims here. Likewise, I can write my own code, so why would I need a Programmer? Same argument. I mean, hey, give me SAP_ALL authority and don't argue with me, if Standards aren't important, never mind the legal side.

5 Challenges of balance

Balancing technical and business skills in information systems can also pose some challenges that you need to overcome. For instance, conflicting or changing demands and expectations from stakeholders, knowledge gaps or skill mismatches between current and desired IS roles, time and resource constraints that limit learning and development opportunities, resistance or skepticism from peers or managers who may undervalue or overvalue certain skills, and stress or frustration from juggling multiple tasks, projects, and priorities are all issues you may face.
