16 AREAS FOR TECH ENTHUSIASTS TO FOCUS ON.

With near-constant and rapid advances in technology, the tech industry moves at lightning speed. Keeping up with changes and learning new skills is key to your professional development and, for tech entrepreneurs, the viability of your company—the hard part is determining which avenues are the most valuable to explore.

As successful tech leaders, the members of Forbes Technology Council have their fingers on the pulse of the latest industry information and trends. Below, they share 16 areas you should get up to speed on sooner rather than later.

1. Change Management

The most important skill transcends technology—it’s the ability to manage and lead change. We have to keep our tech skills up to date, but more critically, we must be change agents to unlock new opportunities and evolve business with technology. Anticipating and managing change is how our company drove the implementation of key infrastructure programs. This ended up positioning us to enable 225,000 people to work remotely and successfully launch a free version of our digital fitness app to help the public in response to COVID-19. - James Shira, PwC

2. Data Analysis

Data and data insights will be key to any sector. It is all in the data.

A Biblical View of Wealth and Riches

Instructions for the Wealthy

Finally, 1 Timothy 6:17-18 offers divine instructions for the wealthy among us. The passage reads:

“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”

When your season of material wealth arrives, if it hasn’t already, this 1 Timothy 6:17-18 passage is telling you to do the following four things:

Don’t become arrogant. Work hard and become successful in life but don’t think of yourself as better than others because of your material wealth. In Deuteronomy 8:18 Moses reminds us, “But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.”

Don’t put your hope in your wealth. Proverbs 23:5 says, “Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.” A good job or business and its steady earnings can be here today and gone tomorrow.

Be rich in good deeds. A good deed is a free and voluntary act of service toward another person. Doing good deeds for others is the fruit of your salvation in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:10 tells us: “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.”

Be generous and willing to share. Generous people are synergistic. They build organizations and contribute to the success others. Think about it: who wants to do business with someone who only takes?

Conclusion

If you are reading this article you are already wealthy by God’s standards. Honor him with your worldly success. Enjoy the things God has sent your way while being respectful of others, rich in good deeds, and generous with the less fortunate.
