Our Original Thinking Lecture series showcases some of the world-leading research from colleagues at Alliance Manchester Business School.
Michelle Carter, Professor of Information Systems and Director of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion at AMBS, will give her inaugural lecture at this event.
Digital Echoes: How Our Tech Past Shapes Our Future
Michelle's lecture will explore the evolving landscape of IT identity and its implications for business and society. Developed in collaboration with colleagues, the concept of IT identity examines how technology becomes integral to our self-concepts, influencing behaviours and decision-making within organisations and beyond.
Building on this foundation, Carter and colleagues introduce the concept of "forgone IT identity", challenging the conventional view that individuals fully abandon their IT identities when newer technologies are introduced. Instead, this research highlights how enduring connections with previous IT continue to shape current experiences and behaviours.
As we navigate the era of artificial intelligence and rapid technological change, understanding these 'digital echoes' is crucial. This lecture will delve into how these insights can inform strategies for managing technological transitions, fostering innovation, and enhancing resilience not only within organizations but also in broader societal contexts. The implications extend to how individuals and communities adapt to technological advancements, ensuring inclusion and empowerment in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
