Information technologies (IT) are pervasive in the daily working lives of people in all sectors, all over the world. Global supply chains, cross-border trade in goods and services, banking and finance depend on them. Use of IT in the health sector and in technologies to improve sustainability of the environment is another crucial aspect that helps business and society operate efficiently. Compatibility and interoperability between IT hardware, software and systems is therefore crucial to the development of global markets and to address global challenges.
ISO, whose efficient system for achieving global consensus between countries and throughout business sectors, is one of the principal actors for the development of global IT standards. But IT is at work in almost all of ISO's 18000 plus Standards and it is this pervasiveness that is one of the central themes of the open session.
Standards provide a framework for the modern world of work, but it is an invisible one as many people are unaware of this huge contribution. This open session is therefore intended to highlight the influence and impact of standards "at work."
It will address multiple aspects of IT in action, including its growing use in the health sector (to take the form of a round table) and for" building smart" - with a particular emphasis on the use of the ISO standardbased Building Information Model (BIM). The open session will also explore the environmental aspects and implications of "green IT", as well as the IT challenges facing developing countries. A second round table discussion will examine the future evolutions in the IT industry and their implications for the way we work.
