A significant city in the United States that expects 70 percent of its IT personnel to retire over the next three years has sprung into action, hiring youthful IT experts and pairing them with seasoned veterans. Almost all of their IT systems were created in-house over a period of 20 years, making in-house knowledge crucial. However, qualified employees were hard to come by in the job market. Is this a sign that we need to devote more time and effort to crisis management and contingency planning? Surely someone has already written about this or had a plan to solve it.
