  • The R&D activities will focus across two dimensions: how access to a wide variety of learning opportunities can best be managed in an online environment; and how technologies can be assembled to best provide seamless access to a large variety of educational resources and services.

  • Gartner predicts that by 2010, the IT profession will be split into four domains:


    1. Technology Infrastructure and Services. Now composing 65 percent of IT staff, this segment will dwindle to 40 percent. This group should emphasize technical knowledge, such as: "How does this technology work?"

    2. Information Design and Management--will rise from 20 percent to 30 percent. This group will need to focus more on business-specific knowledge, such as: "What makes this institution tick?"

    3. Process Design and Management--will rise from 10 percent to 20 percent. This group will need to balance business knowledge with core process knowledge, such as: "What processes make this area unique," and with industry knowledge, such as: "What characterizes this sector?"

    4. Relationship and Sourcing Management--will rise from 5 percent to 10 percent. This group will need to balance business knowledge with core process knowledge.
