"Meeting the demands created by the integration of IT and business models, they say, will require companies to find hybrid professionals -- workers with both technology and business skills."
Business skills. Hmmm. Business skills. Do they mean playing politics? Selling? Doing the books? I suppose I could learn those things. But every second I spend learning that stuff, I'm NOT keeping pace with the technology.
Maybe finding someone who can do everything would be less necessary if some of the people who specialize in business skills (i.e. managers) would actually listen to their IT folks once in a while.

I guess we'll never know about that, though.
