Let’s Create Digital Operations?

ISSUE 7– Talent and Growth

In Articles 1 through 7 of this series, I’ve explored some of the “how” behind a digital transformation.?Today, I’d like to talk about the “who” – IBMers. IBM is able to continuously unleash the promise of technology and drive progress for business and society because our people embrace a growth mindset.

What is it?

At our core, IBMers’ purpose is “To be the catalyst that makes the world work better.”

Every IBMer aspires to be a catalyst, combining their skills and energy with IBM technology to solve difficult problems and optimize mission-critical systems such as electrical grids; mobile networks; and banking, transportation and healthcare systems. Making these critical infrastructures faster, more productive and more secure requires talent that is ready for today’s challenges and preparing for tomorrow’s possibilities is IBM’s mission.

IBMers do that by adopting a growth mindset – each of us staying curious and open to feedback, learning from everyone and always focusing on solutions rather than problems.

How does it work?

IBMers with a growth mindset integrate learning in their day-to-day work. ?This further prepares them to meet the changing needs of our clients.

The learning journey at IBM provides opportunities for our teams to grow their current skills and develop new ones through

• Education –easily accessible resources for continuous learning and skills development,
• Exposure – Seeing how newly-acquired skills can be applied in their daily work,?
• Experience – Opportunities to apply new skills to solve real-world challenges, and
• Environment – A culture that prioritizes learning and provides opportunities to take on additional responsibility .??

Who benefits?

Technology does not stand still, and neither can we if we want to drive progress. Our continued success will always be based on the talent and actions of IBMers.

By growing our skills, and finding opportunities to incorporate learnings into our work, we will continue to create technology and innovation that matters while delivering value for our clients and partners.
