Technology Trends 2023: The Competence Challenge

Abstract

Competitiveness demands continuous competence growth. At year-end 2022 and within the steady state of post-COVID-19 change, Vector Consulting, with IEEE Software, contacted industry experts about their challenges and resolutions. A lack of competence is the biggest challenge identified in our annual industry survey with IEEE Software. The growing lack of competence is perceived across industries as both the major short-term as well as midterm challenge. Technology companies increasingly suffer from inadequate competencies, both in terms of quantity and quality. In turn, their innovation and competitiveness decrease.
