Abstract
Bob Carlson, former head of Global IT Operations and Telecommunications at
HSBC, will open a discussion of the strategic use of IT and what he calls
'RightSourcing' of both IT and back office processes. How will IT and
sourcing evolve over the coming years? What role will the Internet play in
these activities? What effect will these trends have on both onshore and
offshore economies and employment? Bob Carlson will open the session with a
brief statement of his views on these matters, before opening the floor to
interactive questions and answers to begin a conversation across a related
range of issues, from outsourcing to virtual teaming, which he has faced
over the last 40 years of his work in the development and management of IT
operations.
