The past year brought rapid change in the world of IT. The rise of low-code tech has enabled novices to design their own apps, while the cloud has removed the need for complex hardware skills. Low code technology democratises digital transformation, allowing novices to access, create and develop software that hitherto required skilled professionals. These shifts have created not just a transformation in productivity, but also in the structure of teams. With this change comes concern that new technologies might make certain jobs obsolete. How will new technologies change the skill sets ICT leaders look for? 

The rise of low-code - an approach that allows for the rapid development of application software through a relatively easy user interface (and not traditional hand-coded computer programming) - and the fact that so much technology is now cloud-based, is transforming the workplace and workplace productivity.
