Dr. Paul Beynon-Davies is currently Professor of Information Systems in
the European Business Management School. He is a member of the British
Computer Society, the UK Academy of Information Systems, and the
Association for Information Systems, and before taking up an academic
post worked for several years in the information systems industry in the
UK both in the public and private sectors.
In this talk, our speaker will be discussing whether ICT really can "earn its keep" in a modern organisation, or whether it is just an expensive corporate status symbol. This particular debate has been fuelled by a number of prominent recent failures of ICT systems, but the speaker believes the message behind those failures is that ICT had not been properly integrated with other drivers of organisational performance. He will then explain how to build ICT for success, and demonstrate how a holistic model of an organisation's systems can provide a more effective way of evaluating the worth of ICT to organisations both in the private and public sectors.
