Mid of this month, I participated in the Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS-2010). Like the case of ECIS-2010, this year conference was also held outside traditional host i.e. USA and Canada. It took place in Lima, Peru. It was interesting to note that one of the seven wonders in the world today is in Peru i.e. Machu Picchu, a city in clouds (www.peru-machu-picchu.com). And there were organized trips after the conference if wanted to take the opportunity. The good news is that you can also take a virtual tour (http://www.peru-machu-picchu.com/map.php) and more interesting while there can also take tour to the rest of 7 wonders in the world. Also during the conference we were able to enjoy the typical culture of Peru in organized dinners as can see some photos far below! At the conference, I presented a paper written together with Lazar Rusu. The title of our paper is “IT Governance Maturity in the Public Sector Organizations in a Developing Country: The Case of Tanzania”. I also participated in one day CIO Symposium that was held along AMCIS-2010. In this symposium one of the three important themes addressed this year was IT governance. Shared below are some photos one of them being with the famous IT/Business alignment Prof. Luftman and another while contributing in some topics of the symposium.
