Hi All,
It is now clear that as ICT professionals we are now loosing ground in as far as our influence in the organisation is concerned. When Mr. Kinyanjui was appointed IT Director at Kenya Airways I was sure that this was the beginning of a new wave in the running of organisations where the glass ceiling for those in
ICT was soon to be broken.
Unfortunately this was not be happen as he still remains in the same post while in other organisations such as KCB and Safaricom the posts of CIO/ICT Directors have either been downgraded or scraped all together.
The final nail was driven home when I read the current issue of CIO magazine and saw the results of a survey by Gartner, I leave it for you to read and weep.
Regards
PS. Which explains a lot why we have boards whose mandate is to provide opportunities for those in ICT run by none technocrats and we wonder why the Open Data is sitting in a server
