In regional Victoria, Australia there has been a steady decline in Information Technology graduates while large organisations within the region are experiencing a greater demand for these skill sets. What is unknown is the dependency organisations within the region have on the supply of these graduates. This paper examines potential quantitative (Rank Correlation and Markov chain) and qualitative (Importance-Performance Analysis) methods and proposes that to address this dependency the development of a framework encompassing all three methods could be used. The results will provide a more rigorous set of findings than using one method alone and could be used as an evidence base for organisational planning.
