Re: Same as it ever was

It is not just the NHS, it is the same elsewhere. Manglement get to polish their CVs having "delivered" a total piece of shite.

The people in the companies managing the process are all short term so get out before the scale of the disaster becomes apparent.

The consultants produce endless flash presentations to justify their (and the parent company's) ridiculous costs that nobody understands but they look cool so it most be good.

One thing you can be sure of:

There will be an army of people delivering a process to enable the delivery of the IT. More people will be doing this in a huge arse covering exercise as this is what the client sees. The fact that 90% of the people involved in these projects barely know what a computer is and don't actually deliver any useful IT is irrelevant as they are all making money. The fact that it is largely public money makes it even easier.

The day that Manglement look back and admit that something either did not achieve its objectives, overspent or did not work due to bad management is a miracle that will never happen.

The only winners here will be Fujitsu and Captia, they simply cannot lose as they money keeps rolling ing........
