The arrival of the Smart Age has allowed the mature development of information and communication technology (ICT), which increasingly affects our societies and daily lives. Aligned with the contextual background, the Association of Information Systems, which comprised MIS professors, selected ICT-enabled Bright Society Initiative as a future agenda in December 2014. This study employs the Delphi method, which involves the three steps of brainstorming, clustering, and ranking, to deliver the main purposes of the research: finding the agenda items to examine the Bright ICT Initiative, ranking these items strategically, and discussing the subprograms. The research findings discover 11 major issues, and the importance of each issue is ranked by analyzing the survey. Furthermore, how the levels of the importance of each issue that affects individuals, corporations, and societies/nations differ according to age and gender is studied.
