Two weeks ago, I asked the IT executive readership of my weekly newsletter, The Heller Report, to answer the question: If you had a magic wand, which one talent problem would you solve? Responses poured in and addressed challenges around recruiting, developing leaders, and retaining the talent that they currently have. But more than 70 percent of readers would use their magic wand to do only one thing: give business skills to their technologists. Their people, they worry, are so narrowly focused on the technology that they fail to see the forest for the trees. They do not understand the business context of their technology work, nor can they have meaningful discussions with the leaders of the business areas about their technology support.
This lack of business-savvy technology talent is a serious problem for every company that relies on technology to exist (which is, of course, every company). Those beautifully “blended executives,” who can talk technology in one meeting and can talk business in another, are rare birds. Yet with technology moving directly into the revenue stream of your company, you need them, and your need is only going to increase.
One option is to spend all of your time and money on recruiting blended executives from the outside. You will be in heated competition with every other company in your market, and if your recruiting function is not a competitive weapon for you, you will find yourself in a losing battle. You would be much better off growing your own. Here are some ideas:
Build a rotational program. Encourage your head of human resources to work with your CIO and a few of your other business leaders to build a program that rotates IT people into different functions of the business. This kind of program is not easy, with your CIO having to survive without a trusted IT leader for a period of time, but the long-term result of a good rotational program can be tremendous. It may well be worth the investment.
Involve your business leaders. If a rotational program is too much to take on right now, build a leadership development program for IT that involves your business executives. Encourage your CIO to invite the heads of your major business units to meet regularly with the senior IT team to educate them on their business area. And be sure that you, CFO, are spending enough time with IT. Use that interaction to chip away at the long-standing wall that often exists between the business and IT.
Embed your IT people in the business. By now, your CIO should have restructured the IT organization so that each major business or functional area has a dedicated IT leader. These positions are called “business relationship executives，” portfolio CIOs, or customer relationship managers, and they often report both to the CIO and to a functional or P&L leader. The more time they spend in “the business,” the more they learn skills beyond IT, and the more valuable they become to you over time. You know you are on the right track when you walk into a business unit meeting, and from the dialogue taking place, you cannot easily distinguish the IT person from everyone else.
單選題第1題Companies are in greater need of technology talent NOT because of_______.
A.the accumulation of more data
B.the need to serve consumers
C.the rising demand for cloud computation
D.the development of medical industry
參考答案：D
答案解析：細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位第1段第1句，分析該句邏輯可知with引導原因狀語，給出了公司對技術(shù)人才有著更大需求的三個原因。將該題四個選項與這三個原因逐一比對后可以看出D不在其列，故為正確答案。
單選題第2題_____is NOT a cause for the short supply of technology talent.
A.Recruitment of IT companies
B.Upgrading payroll systems
C.Retirement of experienced IT technologists
D.Recruiting fewer people in computer programs
參考答案：B
答案解析：細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位第1段第1句最后一部分and that talent is in even shorter supply。分析上下文邏輯可知，第2句給出了其中的三個原因，將該題四個選項與這三個原因逐一比對后可以看出B不在其列，故為正確答案。值得注意的是，原文中的第三個原因：Silicon Valley is hot again (硅谷又吃香了)表明技術(shù)人才大量流向硅谷，而普通的公司便難以招募到IT人才，這與D選項的語義一致。
單選題第3題The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that____ .
A.profound discussion is required
B.IT employees should be business-savvy
C.technology support is expected
D.there are challenges in recruiting developers
參考答案：B
答案解析：主旨題。本題的關(guān)鍵在于對作者的問題的回答，可在第2段倒數(shù)第3句找到：give business skills to their technologists,即IT行業(yè)需要既懂技術(shù)又懂商業(yè)的人才，故選B。
單選題第4題The target readers of the weekly newsletter in Paragraph 2 are___ .
A.IT managerial staff members
B.chief developers
C.skilled technicians
D.recruitment administrators
參考答案：A
答案解析：細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題千關(guān)鍵詞weekly newsletter定位第2段第1句，可知其讀者為IT管理人員，故選A。
單選題第5題The word "foresf" underlined in Paragraph 2 is a metaphor that refers to ____.
A.engineering circles
B.IT businesses
C.industrial leaders
D.technological projects
參考答案：B
答案解析：推斷題。fail to see the forest for the trees類似于中文的“見木不見林”。根據(jù)上下文可知，IT行業(yè)急需既懂技術(shù)又懂公司業(yè)務(wù)的人才，而該句中技術(shù)人才只關(guān)注技術(shù)，由此可以推斷“木”即技術(shù)，“林”指公司業(yè)務(wù)，故選B。
單選題第6題The phrase “recruiting function” underlined in Paragraph 4 refers to____ .
A.recruitment of a particular firm
B.the functionality of recruitment
C.competitive recruitment strategy
D.employment of IT workers for a certain employer
參考答案：A
答案解析：推斷題。根據(jù)原文You will be in heated competition with every other company…可知you指的是公司，因為這樣才能與every other company競爭。由此可以推斷出your recruiting function中，畫線部分指的是公司的招聘職能，故選A。
單選題第7題If a company doesn't have enough time and money to hire executives it needs, it should______.
A.achieve long-term results
B.devise a training program
C.participate in heated competition
D.call on all business leaders
參考答案：B
答案解析：推斷題。第4段倒數(shù)第2句給出了此種情形下公司的解決方案，即自己培養(yǎng)所需人才。5至7段列舉了三種方案，將此題的四個選項與其一一比對，可知只有B符合題意(設(shè)計一個培訓項目)，故為正確答案。
單選題第8題A rotational program DOESN’T involve ____.
A.blended IT executives
B.CIO
C.CEO
D.all business leaders
參考答案：C
答案解析：細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到第5段第1句，后面的內(nèi)容給出具體的做法以及涉及的人員，仔細比對后未包括CEO，故選C。
單選題第9題Following Paragraph 5, the passage is intended for____ .
A.CFO
B.CIO
C.P&L
D.IT professionals
參考答案：A
答案解析：推斷題。本文的敘述者是I，敘述對象是you。因此，只要確定you是誰，即可找到本題的答案。于是定位第6段倒數(shù)第3行：And be sure that you, CFO, are spending enough time with IT.分析該句的語法結(jié)構(gòu)可知，CFO為you的同位語，故選A。
單選題第10題The phrase “the business” underlined in Paragraph 7 means_____ .
A.how to recruit IT staff members
B.how to manage and market
C.how to develop new products
D.how to contact other employees
參考答案：B
答案解析：推斷題。第7段的主題是讓IT人才深入企業(yè)，了解企業(yè)的運作機制。在該句中，they指的就是上述人才，the business即指企業(yè)運營方面的知識，故選B。
