In BCS’s new member-sourced ‘ideas for good’ campaign, Dave Brooks channels Jeff Goldblum’s character from Jurassic Park. He says, with the Institute’s stated goal of making IT good for society in mind,‘we need to ask why. We, as a society, are so interested in what we “can” do with tech that we forget to think about what we “should” do. This is a philosophical and ethical question, but also speaks to strategic alignment and use of resources.’ Brian Runciman MBCS reports on members’ ‘ideas for good.’
