jerryking>founders<< of, and >>investors<< in, high-growth technology firms—-to talk about the major **impediments** facing these firms. Their comments indicated a significant **knowledge gap** [i.e. = "information gap"] related to the role management and executive skills play among these growth challenges. Their feedback also demonstrated a shared understanding that scaling a technology company in today’s global marketplace is radically different than in previous eras. The analysis of this data reveals the following key findings:
• While science, technology, engineering and mathematics-related (STEM) talent is
abundant, the >>talent pool<< in general lacks business and management knowledge.
• Shortages of experienced management and/or executive talent are the primary **inhibitors** to scaling up.
• Canadian technology firms lack key management competencies in specific areas including sales, marketing, organizational design and product management.
• The talent shortage is linked to the lack of existing and/or exited growth firms in Canada’s technology sector.
These findings underscore the importance of building a well-rounded cadre of managers and executives in Canada’s technology sector. Doing so must take into consideration the fact that today’s technology markets are distinguished by far shorter >>time-to-market<< and product life cycles, as well as a generally more complex global operating environment.
This white paper presents an in-depth review of the challenges facing Canadian high-tech firms and develops a strong evidence base upon which to build future initiatives designed to address them.The work represents an important first step by the Lazaridis Institute to help a next generation of Canadian technology companies scale into global leaders.]]>Canada Canadian gazelles high-growth investors scaling start_ups talent technology Colleges_&_Universities Kitchener-Waterloo knowledge_economy WLU Mike_Lazaridis team_risk founders obstacles skills_shortage talent_pools time-to-market information_gaps talent_gapshttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jerryking/b:34d5a23b3f66/Cake shop management cannot suffice for a modern economy.2019-03-02T20:04:57+00:00
