Naace Voice 2010 - Strategic Conference Blog

We are delighted to invite all of our members to engage in developing their Naace Voice for 2010.

As usual we're trying to get everyone talking before, during and after this year's Strategic Conference. Previously we've had a variety of feeds and blogs, but to make it easier in 2010 we've created one special Conference-focused networking space.

BSF and Innovation - friends or enemies?

On 4 December 2009, a Naace think tank took place - the theme was "Safeguarding ICT innovation under BSF Managed Service Contracts". As part of the build up to this event, we invited members to share their ideas, experiences and reflections. You are still able to share your views with us - in the Naace CPD area you will find a Moodle with the same title as the think tank. It contains six questions, and we hope you will respond to any or all of them online.

To join in the debate, go to www.naace.co.uk/934. Be sure to have your say!
