  Those that succeed in making this transition are going to be those with higher-order skills and larger vision. Those who have really absorbed what it means to be engineers first and computer guys second. That means knowing what to build, and why. That means being able to understand the second- and third-order effects of their decisions. That means recognizing bad ideas early, and giving business recommendations backed by solid evidence.
