Public Administration Committee Good governance: the effective use of IT Tuesday 8 March 2011 Committee Room 6 Meeting started at 10.33am ended at 12.33pm Witnesses Professor Helen Margetts, Oxford Internet Institute, Dr Ian Brown, Oxford Internet Institute, and Dr Edgar Whitley, London School of Economics Professor Nigel Shadbolt, University of Southampton, and Sir Ian Magee, Institute for Government. 
Geopolitical events of 2011 have demonstrated the power of so-called Social Media, leading to terms being coined such as “Facebook revolution.” However, I believe that it is Twitter that has now matured into the de facto interactive, multi-channel broadcasting media that facilitates effective, dynamic discussion at every level: parochial, regional, national and global. 
Organizational scars, like bodily scars, are borne forever and affect us long after the causal events. This may seem very simplistic. But it is an important perspective for every business to recognise the persistently damaged areas of the organizational nervous system. New Government IT Strategy - fundamentally flawed? 
According to Tony Collins, the UK Government CIO Council will be asked, by the Cabinet Office, to approve an interim ICT strategy that looks fundamentally flawed before the ink is dry: a shotgun wedding strategy. Jingle bells, Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to route Santa's ERP-driven sleigh! 
Troubleshooting assignments are quite often fairly hush-hush but there are some that I don’t talk about because nobody would believe me if I did. For example, Santa’s ERP implementation. |
