 Ian
Angell is Europe’s leading IT guru and visionary. He is Professor of
Information Systems at the London School of Economics, arguably the most prestigious
Information Systems Chair in the United Kingdom, and a member of the United Nations
Steering Committee of Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization at the Regional
Office for Science and Technology for Europe, based in Venice
Ian was educated at the University of Wales
and the University of London. He began his academic career in 1971 as a lecturer at
Royal Holloway College, University of London. In 1984 he was appointed a senior
lecturer at University College, London, before joining the LSE in 1986 as Professor of
Information Systems. He is also the editor of the Macmillan series on information
systems and a founder member of the European Organization for East-West Cooperation.
His many publications include: A Practical
Introduction To Computer Graphics, High Resolution Computer Graphics Using C, Information
Systems Management, Advanced Graphics on VGA and XGA Cards with Borland C++, and Intelligence:
Logical or Biological. With this expert grasp of his subject, Ian is able to
speak with authority on the global consequences of IT; applications of new
technology - risks and opportunities; organizational and national IT strategies; strategic
information systems; applied computing in organizations; computer graphics; and
multi-media information environments. He also contributes extensively to various
academic and professional journals.
Ian acts as a consultant on information
systems and international and organizational IT policies to some of the leading companies
in the UK and the world. His ideas concerning the future of work have been reported
widely in newspapers all over the globe. He is frequently requested for media
appearances, commentating on developments in IT and making authoritative forecasts on
possible future scenarios for business. A recent profile in The London Times,
described him as the “Angell of Doom”, in reference to his prediction of the
painful changes in the cyberspace age - such as the end of the nation state.
Ian’s growing reputation comes at the
culmination of ten years work developing a new perspective on information systems,
stressing that the social, economic and organizational issues are more important than the
technological ones. He is about to publish a book on his latest ideas, The New
Barbarian Manifesto, in which he lays out his advice on how to succeed in an
increasingly brutal world.
