ILC Event 'Emerging technology and Governance in a new (cyber) era'

Synopsis: There is one discipline that connects everything on an enterprise; one corporate dimension that build bridges between users and products, consumers and the organization; one angle that links everything that needs to be considered in a company. This dimension sits at the core of every organization and it is critical to understand who has access to what, how the access was granted, for how long, from where to where… and the processes, procedures and guidelines to be followed, especially in this cyber era with emerging technologies always presenting challenges for corporations and society at large. Governance and all its angles deserve a new approach, a shift in perception. Embracing it, adapting and adopting the right strategies (and Management tactics) sits at the core of what will become success. This is the opportunity for righting a wrong and providing answers to the business. The DNA of a company that connects and builds is directed by Governance and full understanding of emerging technologies. A great opportunity. A new dawn.
