Every day brings a story in the news of an organisation that has distributed data that shouldn’t have been shared, or has lost out to a competitor who is using data to drive business in an innovative way. To address issues such as these, standards are being developed to provide guidance for boards on the governance of data. Data is fundamentally changing the nature of businesses and organisations, and the mechanisms for delivering products and services. Are you ready for the data boom? |
| Outsourcing for strategic advantage | 9:00 – 9:30 | Melanie Cheong | Business process outsourcing is a delicate balance between process efficiency and business innovation.
