2009 World Congress on Privacy, Security, Trust and the Management of e-Business CIO Panel Summary

Monday August 24, 2009- 5PM

IT Professionalism : Global Trends and Key Issues

Greg LaneModerated by Greg Lane, I.S.P., ITCP,IP3P, Director of Business Development for Avanade, Chair of the Canadian Council of Information Technology Professionals (CCITP), CIPS’ governing body, and Chair of the International Practice Partnership (IP3) this panel discussion of industry leaders will get attendees thinking about dominant issues in IT in 2009. IT is flattening the world. What are the challenges and opportunities globalization presents for technology professionals and leaders? At the same time, the Canadian tech industry is facing a labour crunch. Does setting the professional bar high work against the goal of attracting and keeping employees? And what about the labour issue? How will the tech sector stay ahead of shortages, and how can New Brunswick grow its IT labour force?
