| I have had an opportunity to review the book's manuscript, as it was being written. The book provides a very practical and visionary approach to recover from a Y2K disaster -- what it calls "Fireworks" -- using technology (object, distributed computing), methodology (adding method/sanity to madness, what a disaster tends to be) and sociology (people aspects). Using this vision, an organisation can position itself for the future, while recovering from a circumstance that may put it back in time. Overall, a must read for IT planners, managers and architects -- confronting what management guru Peter Drucker would have called "Managing in Turbulent Times". |
