Assessing the worth of IT
Thursday 23rd March
6.30pm - 8.30pm (Doors open 6pm)
Robert Recorde Room,
Department of Computer Science,
Swansea University
Guest speaker: Professor Paul Beynon-Davies
Professor Paul Beynon-Davies, formerly Professor of Information Systems in the European Business Management School at Swansea University recently joined the
Electronic Commerce Innovation Centre in Cardiff (eCIC)
. 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 presentation, Professor Beynon-Davies 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.
