Beatrice Said:

Help guys please...this is Human resource management question?

We Answered:

Up until a few minutes ago, I was talking about the same thing with some friends.
When, however, come into play the contrast between scientific, documented, and the value of thought and analysis, it is difficult to find a universally accepted answer.
I think your question has the characteristics of encouraging a discussion rather than found a solution.
Best wishes!

In Banking which field has a better future: IT application/system development or Risk Management?

We Answered:

Both fields have a good future. Risk Management, if you are referring to managing customer's financial risk, will likely lead to a better financial future. The reason is that there are only so many IT jobs that are very big in nature (CIO). Management and director type jobs pay well, but not insane. Risk management, on the other hand, implies you are helping companies juggle $100's of millions in funds, and protect these funds from the inherent risks in the world (interest rates, cash flow timing, liquidity risks...etc). It is obvious that the value added in that role is much larger than that of IT, and insane paying positions more readily available. However, it is a considerable different skill set than that which you already do, much heavier in hardcore mathematical finance.

How do I build a career that combines my background in IT with Innovation?

We Answered:

I would join any groups you can on IT management and start networking with people from other organizations. I would think there would be a lot of opportunity in innovation and IT. Most organizations really need innovation! I would also put together a case in which you can prove that you came up with a truly innovative solution for a problem that has historically been a pain for your organization to deal with. Prove that you can collaborate with the customers! That is the single biggest fault I have seen in all my years consulting with organizations that have problems with their IT organizations. Good Luck!
