Governance MSIS
Why change? • MSIS and previous groups have been around for many years • Some successes, but many issues remain the same • Have we reached our limit? • Could a different approach accelerate progress?
Some ideas • Silos – not just for subject matter people? • Bring together: • IT • Methodology • Information architects • Data scientists • .... • Multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving within organisations
So why keep silos for international meetings? What sort of event would have the most value foryour organisation?
Future work • Connecting methods and IT disciplines • Let's automate! (Man x Machine = product) • Using technology push to our advantage • Connecting to "outside world"
