Euan Semple has just returned from a global tour of IT. What he found was not encouraging.
The real power of IT to help people live better has still not yet been harnessed. It can do shopping but not address issues that are more human and so messier. The UK wrote off 12 billion pounds for a failed system of health information. IT departments are also blocking many organizations from using the web too.
This revelation is not news. But Euan's thoughts about a solution are.
Clue - CEO's doing a Moses will not work. This method has been at the core of why large scale IT projects have failed. Euan offers a simpler, practical and hopeful solution.
