Does size matter?
With combined experience of more than 50 years working in the IT sector, two industry experts compare the approach to technology in both large and small business to ask the question: does size matter?
Through an audience interactive presentation, speakers Ian and Chris will explore the differences and similarities with IT in big and small organisations. Questions explored will include:
- At what point does small become big?
- What typical scenarios do all businesses face and how does size factor?
- The effect of consumerisation and the consumer mind-set on technology adoption
- Attitude to risk
- Does big mean better?
