Our CIOs are going to write a tutorial

This is - the continuation of the story about the visit of the IT Assembly, organized by the club 4CIO.
The beginning ( of the general case and about the ' cloud round table '):.

First, two observations.
1) It turns out 4CIO - it's ' Top Club Managers ' (rather than Moscow and IT).
2) The present level of discussion of the Clouds - is here (http://cloudclub-ru. blogspot. com/2010/11/vvf-3. html), and not on IT Assembly. Another thing is that there ( at the VVF) was presented the view of vendors, and here it was necessary to give a word of CIO and independent experts.

So, after the Cloud COP, I went to a press lunch.

It is now a very popular form, but in my opinion - it's just bad taste. Cases and food - are two different things. (' flies and cutlets '). It is possible for a backstage meeting for serious talks - does not need ( remember the summer of invitation from Mikhail Kozlov for discussion with the promise of Open Source ' feed ', but it does not replace the content of the food ).

In the case of 4CIO food and things just were divided, but some very strange: all things are going well at first, and then behind the scenes conversations (which is important!).
4CIO decided to show an innovative approach: the buffet was so!.

I must say - a risky option! .

Honestly, that in the meeting invitation is not much poring and hoped that there would be a useful conversation. But he did not take place.

Recall that in the invitation to the event spoke of ' the discussion of the results, and trends '. It would be logical if 4CIO brought to a conversation with journalists ( not often encounter because ) of this.

But the conversation has been reduced solely to the presentation of the project 's. Here's an article where everyone says: ' The Russian CIO decided to write a book ' http://www. pcweek. ru / themes / detail. php? ID = 126886.

I have an opinion expressed there ( in a mild form ), but here I can say more specifically, it is quite unrealistic project.
Willing to bet that, at best, get 10% of plan. More likely is - just anything.

This is a typical illusion of people who did not have to deal with this kind of project.

Maybe wrong, but there is not a subject for argument, let work take a look at the result after 10 months.

However, already in the preparation of this article, I found an interesting nuance. It turns out Sergei Kiryushin, who retired last year from IT chiefs Aeroflot, now resides in the status of ' independent consultant '.

For a ' consultant ' creation of such a textbook - a good project (though it needs to forget about training advice ). If he will project seriously ( need more money, resources), then a result can be.

We'll see.
But at a news conference would be better if they talked about the state of affairs in his community, the industry... It would be much more interesting.
