About the Seminar

This seminar gives insights from leading industry figures into the difficult problem of gaining value from investments in Information Technology.  Nicholas Carr famously remarked “Does IT matter?” Our seminar demonstrates that what you do with IT and how you manage IT certainly do matter. The speakers show how effective IT governance leads to increased profits, how  national productivity increases in Australia are linked to IT and how Australian organizations use some key strategies to gain value from IT. The seminar concludes with a panel session to allow different perspectives to be debated.
