🌟 Session Overview 🌟
Session Name: You’re a Great Coder? That Alone Won’t Get You Far: The Soft Skills Secret in IT Success
Speaker: Pierluigi Meloni
Session Description: Statistically* 70% of all IT-projects worldwide cannot be classified as "successful". Did you know that? And the crazy thing is that this figure has remained unchanged for the past 20 years, despite the fact that technology is constantly improving and “disrupting”. The reasons for this are things like poor communication, changing requirements, unrealistic expectations and much more. Hardly any of these reasons have anything to do with technology, as it is essentially down to a lack of soft skills. Paradoxically, too much focus on technology leads to poorer results and also has another side effect: A lack of soft skills is also the main reason for job frustration, as 94% of HR managers believe that employees with stronger soft skills are more likely to be promoted than employees with more years of experience but weaker soft skills. Sounds familiar?
Pierluigi is the CEO of Utterskills, an e-learning academy for soft skills in IT professions and in his presentation he will give an overview of the most important aspects about soft skills in IT you need to know. He will also give you some quick wins for your daily work on how to easily communicate technical issues to non-technicians.
