A remake for 2026

Sometimes I get asked in to support the manager of a failing project.

Most of the time I get to take over a failing project, with or without the previous manager’s involvement.

Occasionally I am called in to act as a Project Manager for clients who have brought in Systems Integrators and Management Consultants to do most of the project work.

Remastered for 2026

Much of my consulting work is done in the Financial Industry.

I was there when the crisis was prepared, when it was baked and when it was brought out of the oven.

There are many theories about what went wrong.

Most of them are misleading, misinformed or simply crap.

I wrote a piece titled “Mugged in Data Hell.”

INTRO

It told the story of a CIO who was hoodwinked, cajoled, bullied, bribed and patronised into doing the wrong things, continuously.

As my mate Bill said, “It packs big punches, and doesn’t hold back with the shit-kicking truth”.

Remastered for 2026

Here are three stories that illustrate the connection between creativity and what we do in business.

USING MY OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

’m in a board room, addressing the assembled bunch of socially challenged IT management and hangers-on.

I explain, in simple language, how they can and should implement Enterprise Data Warehousing iteratively and agilely, and why they should do so rather than other approaches. I also explain how to do Business Intelligence, again, both iteratively and agilely.

They, the assembled suits, wring their hands and say, “We can’t do it any differently now, we have to deliver everything we promised by September, or we are screwed”.

Continued from Part 3, which can be found here -> Part 3


“The following week, the full high-powered delegation from The Taffia Connection and BogartSys flies in. It was as if an army had come to do battle with us. Uniformly slick, sullen and tacky. iPhone; laptop; knock-off Marks and Spark’s; check patterns; butt ugly ties; ‘plastique’ shoes; mismatching socks; ‘business’ rucksacks; all weather hoodies; and, worst of all, off-the-peg smirks just begging to be slapped”.
