The pace of technological change is rapid and the previous research undertaken by the ACIITC has spotlighted the importance that our industry gets our priorities and investment in innovation and technology on target. ACIITC has in-depth researched the workforce, workflow and practice implications of high levels of incorporation of innovation and technology as well as the important financial considerations related to return on investment.”
