EventsEventsLast edition, we reported on the reaction of participants in our one-day seminar. With increasing visibility of IT as a top level governance matter, we believe that the seminar is increasingly relevant and so we are again considering scheduling a series. We would be most interested to learn of readers who would like to attend a seminar. Your input will help guide us in terms of timing and venues. Please email your thoughts to seminars@infonomics.com.au.
The 7th Annual Banking Technology Summit was held on July 27 and 28, at Dockside in Sydney. Infonomics founder Mark Toomey spoke to a packed day one plenary session. No surprises about the theme - how better IT Governance and leveraging of standards can contribute to improved business performance. We will discuss the conference further in the September edition, and we will look at the somewhat troubling trend we have noticed of industry conferences losing their audiences well before the information sessions are complete.
This major conference addressing IT leaders in federal and state government took place on August 29 and 30, in Canberra. Mark Toomey stood in for Dr Ed Lewis, chair of the Standards Australia committee responsible for AS8015, delivering his own version of Ed’s topic: “Managing the Risks of ICT Governance: How AS8015 Can Help You Keep Out Of Trouble”. Again, the conference exhibited the pattern of attendees disappearing early, and Mark’s presentation, relegated to last session of the conference, attracted only a handful of listeners. We will discuss this further in the September edition.
