A look at the IT Professional – Context
In my last entry, I talked about the IT professional in two dimensions. There is a third dimension that we must talk about – context. Businesses are increasing needing people who not only have the business and technological skills but also have a third dimension of knowledge in context. You will see the context is really knowledge in a particular industry along with the business and technical knowledge. Increasing, programs that are interdisciplinary in nature are needed to satisfy this need of employers.

It is going to depend on the employer. For someone with little experience, they should have some awareness of the different contexts that exist. Each context has its own culture, rules, laws, ethics, etc and everyone should at least be aware of them.
