If you're an applications developer, then seek a role on a CRM project, particularly one that has a strong Web-based component; learn Java and XML; try moving into wireless application development. Also be on touch with latest of .NET

If you're a database manager or developer, then focus on data warehousing. Get extensive knowledge.

If you're a networking professional, then become a security guru.

If you're a Windows systems administrator, then branch out to Unix or Linux.

If you're a help desk professional, then get involved on an intranet-based self-service help desk application development project.

If you're an operations professional, then consider moving into storage area networking or disaster recovery services.

Whatever your expertise, get some formal project management training.
