Keynote: Why are you Doing
This to Us? Technology Change as Friend and Foe
|
| Keynote
Outline
We’re in the middle of a new industrial
revolution. Nowhere is this more the case than the media
sector: digitally-enabled audiences are requiring broadcasters
to make more content, in different ways, for less money.
A complete retooling of the production process is required
– but it’s proving difficult to achieve.
In this presentation Mark Harrison explores why creative
people are so threatened by change. He argues that the
pain associated with technology innovation will not
be reversed until organisations take a fundamentally
different approach from the ones used by most consultants
and analysts. Mark has worked in media for over 20 years
– both for the BBC and the independent sector.
Mark is now the Creative Lead for Technology and Innovation
at the BBC.

Keynote: Defining Professionalism
for Business Analysis: Why it needs to be better recognised
and what the future looks like
|
|
Keynote
Outline
The extent to which lives are underpinned by advances
in the IT industry was not imagined even a quarter of
a century ago and this growth in the IT industry has
brought, and continues to bring, changes and development
for the IT profession. Business Analysis sits at the
epicentre of UK plc’s ability to adapt, innovate,
survive and generate future success.
IT drives innovation in business, government and society
so is crucial in maintaining the position of the UK
as a global economic power; it is IT Professionals who
are at the centre of this revolution. The result is
that the scope of the IT profession is now much broader.
The IT profession has moved from its traditional role
of technical solution provider to become a full transformation
partner within the organisations that it serves. Business
analysis is pivotal for the standing of IT as the whole
profession is being judged on business outcomes. BCS
sees no reason why IT should not be viewed on a par
with the other business focussed professions and respected
as such.
