Re: Suits having meetings and producing reports is not going to help...
I think suits having meetings might just in this one case actually be exactly what we need. The problem is the occupants of said suits being the right people.
I would be the first to agree that overspending on managers and underspending on front line services is a genuine problem, but in this case it would seem that the problem is stupid contradictory policies tying the hands of the people who already knew how to fix this.
If the management took the time to understand what the implications are of having important medical devices connected to the Internet are, and what a rigorous patching regime actually involves, then maybe - just maybe - this could have been avoided.
Better management, not just more of it, you know?
