I know what you did last summer
Fellow EI, Michael Krigsman, a hell of nice guy, is definitely someone who speaks softly, but carries a huge stick. The stick is his ZDNet blog "IT Project Failures".
He innocently walks up to vendors and asks them to provide details of what they did last summer. At Oracle OpenWorld, Karen Tillman of Oracle PR said she was deathly afraid of what Michael would ask Oracle executives. Huge stick! But he is no gossip monger - he wants people to learn from project failures and for the industry to quit repeating them.
Well, he will have a field day with this CIO Insight listing (and even more interesting candidates in the comments) - the Chernobyls and Bhopals of the IT industry!
