[kictanet] IT posts for full circle

[robert yawe]

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.

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 in the USA
