Dear Friend,

Like they say, the only thing constant is change. It?s one of those timeless truisms. If anything, the impact of it is most severe now, what with the abundance of unique opportunities and a shifting professional environment.

This issue of TechTalk dwells on the topic of Change and the management of it ? at the personal, professional and company levels. The articles touch upon need to re-skill from the employee?s and employer?s points of view; about the supporting office environment and finally at the company level, how HP continues to ride the crest of change and prove itself.

Like it or hate it, one cannot really ignore change. Change demands awareness, discipline and rigor. But it is worth the effort.

As always, we have an impressive collection of job openings in the right panel. Check them.

Regards, Editor

PROFESSIONAL WORLD

Reskill to retain
Rapid changes in technology and the demands of the markets result in the need for IT professionals to continuously upgrade their skills. In fact, the ?half-life? of a software engineer is said to be 18 months!

Even for companies that go to great lengths to hire the best available talent, retaining these people and maintaining their ?saleability? is a challenge. This is best done by re-skilling employees. From CIOL Jobs

Want to re-skill your employees?
Beyond ?being flexible? and drafting a ready supply of resumes, the best hedge in the responsibility game is skills-keeping an eye on the marketplace and getting just enough training to be able to catch the next technology wave as it roles in. Now, most professionals realize that their long-term career relies on getting their skills up to date and continue to improve them. From CIO.com

Update skills to cut staff turnover
Continual professional development can help to improve an organization?s reputation and save costs through staff retention. Continual professional development is not cheap.

Each program must take into account an individual?s abilities and define a tailored learning plan. This plan then incorporates training courses and conferences alongside self-assessment and on-the-job experience
that must be monitored and tracked. From Computer Weekly


Explore your possibilities: reinvent yourself to keep up
Never-ending change is the only consistent, predictable thing in our lives. Our society operates 24 hours a day, every day, at a fast pace. Coping (better yet, adapting) requires flexibility-a willingness to embrace change and to reinvent yourself to meet altered circumstances.

What Can You Do?

* Stay flexible. Don't lock yourself into viewing the world from only one perspective. Certainly your career is important, but it's who you are, not what you do, that matters in the end.

* Keep learning. If you build your skills, both on and off the job, you'll have more options open if change suddenly becomes necessary.

* Monitor trends. America's largest corporations pay big bucks to the consulting firms that can tell them what's going to happen next. Gaze into your own crystal ball. What might happen next that could shake up your life?

OFFICE ENVIRONMENT

Office next ? working redefined for the new generation
Business needs are changing faster than imagination. But what is changing even faster than that is technology and office culture that gets business going.

'Work Smart' - is the mantra for the workplace of the future. The 21st century office is therefore the
'Office Next'. What better imbibes the very essence of smart working than technology. From Express Computer



TRIVIA

Hewlett-Packard: Maximizing technology to Enable change
In 1939, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard sold eight audio oscillators to Walt Disney Studios for the development and testing of an innovative sound system to be used for a movie called ?Fantasia.?

By recognizing a new business need and then tying technology investments ($528 of working capital and
who knows how many hours of human capital) to this market void, the two engineering geniuses productized an invention and significantly contributed to a movie-making breakthrough.

In the past 65 years, Hewlett-Packard has demonstrated its talent for market adaptation. HPs focus on innovation has helped the company weather significant market changes and successfully close the biggest merger of technology companies ever, with Compaq.
