Is IT a Profession?


Speaker: Adam Thilthorpe, BCS Director for Professionalism

Abstract

IT often assumes the role of a servant but IT (Information and Technology) doesn't just support business it powers business. Has the IT profession come of age and is it seen as equivalent to the other professions represented in Boardrooms.


Two opposing views will be discussed: that IT is a 'trade' and does not have the professional status of the law or accountancy.


Committee owner: Sheila Lloyd Lyons
