Coverage will include:
- What is transformation and who is involved? Why should those involved with IT-enabled business change become more ‘responsible’?
- The key activities required in transformational leadership of strategy, change and delivery and how these integrate with the ‘responsibility principles’.
- BCS codes of conduct and how they influence the actions of professional body members – is this enough or too much?
- Moral, ethical and professional standards – why and how they matter in terms of converging mindsets.
- Towards better transformation: how session participants can make a bigger difference in what they do and how they do it.
