ISACA Session (12.00-12.50)One CPD Hour Topic\: "\;ITIL vs COBIT\: showdown of the frameworks"\;
There is no reason other than history why ITIL is the "\;default"\; choice as an IT framework. There are better ones around. In my consulting practice I use COBIT as my framework\, and flesh it out with ITIL and other bodies of knowledge when necessary. I use COBIT to frame assessment\, current state analysis\, reviews\, improvement planning\, strategy\, roles\, and so on. It's better.

Topic Influences on Risk Management
The subject of risk management has received a lot of attention over the past few years and most of us have developed a broad understanding (if not a good working knowledge) of common risk management practices. However\, the connection between the psychology of risk taking (why some people will take chances and others won't) and the more &lsquo\;operational&rsquo\; areas of risk management remains largely overlooked.
In spite of having well-defined processes\, different people looking at the same information can reach quite different conclusions. Moreover\, people don&rsquo\;t always pursue the most logical decision when faced with uncertainty and risk &ndash\; a whole range of factors come into play which affect how risks are perceived and approached.
This session will examine some of the debate and discussion about the nature of risk\, judgement and decision making\, and will explore how this influences risk management at an organisational level. In particular\, the way in which perceptions and attitudes of risk can provoke certain behaviours (and why initiatives to manage risk sometimes have a reverse effect) will be discussed.
