Yesterday I took part in a fringe event organised by the European Information Alliance. 3 speakers competed for my vote & that of others with presentations on the management of the IT processs in Government; governance of the internet; & the role of IT in the UK economy. We covered how to improve IT procurement in the public sector, a matter of interest to many of us given recent failures an cost, delivery time & security; how to ensure safe use of the internet, particularly by children; how to ensure IT jobs stay in here by ongoing training and innovation.; the vaiability of broadband across the country, an issue of concern to me as I live in a village where speeds are often frustratingly low.
