Digital Leadership by Mary Cleary CEO of the Irish Computer Society
In this webinar aspects of leadership in the digital transformation is discussed.
Information systems and information technology (IS/IT) are of crucial importance to any organization and society. The way organizations communicate to their clients, do their marketing, deliver their products and the way they execute their business processes are influenced heavily by IS/IT. New developments in IS/IT offer new opportunities and challenges for organizations and society. When an organization fails to keep up with the use of IS/IT by its competitors or the expectations of its clients it may be forced to close down!
The gap between business (people/responsibilities) and IT (people/responsibilities) is often mentioned as an obstruction for organizations to meet the high expectations and promises of IT and (new) information systems. The European Commission also identifies this challenge, they state that shortages, gaps and mismatches of e-Skills are negatively impacting the growth, competitiveness and drive for innovation in Europe. Organizations need digital leadership in order to ensure successful use of IS/IT within an organization.
During this online symposium Mary Cleary will be discussing the full architecture of ICT professionalism, developed by CEN TC 428, consisting of a competence framework, ICT BoK, education/training guidelines and ethics. She will argue that the establishment of standards helps to ensure quality and accountability, raising the status and attractiveness of careers in IT, and gives tools to IT leaders to manage the successful use of IS/IT in organisations.Watch the presentation here: Download
