Professor Martyn Thomas has a wealth of experience with IT and business; he founded Software development firm Praxis. To his mind IT can help a business enormously, as long as the problem is fully explored and by following these simple rules. In this short video he explains how to avoid the most common mistakes in software projects.
Martyn Thomas is an internationally recognised expert in software engineering who holds visiting professorships at three top Universities including the University of Oxford. Beyond his academic posts, Professor Thomas is often called upon to be an expert witness and also to advise Parliament on cyber security matters. Gresham College is proud to have Professor Thomas as our first IT Livery Company Professor of Information Technology:

Professor Thomas will deliver the six lectures of the newest Professorship over the 2015-16 Academic year.

From pressing issues like cyber security threats to possible futures with driverless cars and intense automation, this series is hugely important and focuses on issues that affect the entire world.
