This paper presents the results of a focus group conducted in 2012, among Information Systems (IS) alumni from the Caribbean region; to obtain relevant direction on IS skills, based on their experiences as IS professionals. The focus group, as well as the computer-assisted tool used, is explained. The most significant IS skill categories, in order of importance, were listed. The majority of those skills were consistent with the results of previous studies conducted in other geographical areas, which tend to indicate alumni of different cultural and geographical areas share the same challenges as IS professionals. The additional IS skills categories identified in this study were: negotiation with clients about a possible and cost-effective solution as well as awareness and use of innovative technology equipment. This study contributes to the IS body of knowledge by providing a unique description for each IS skill category, new additional IS skill categories, and the order of relevancy for the IS skill categories. The results of this study are only considered to be applicable to the sample used, so generalizations should be done with caution, as it is true for other research methods. The replication of this study can be done by using similar samples.
