Organisational changes: Management of IT in X

' ... I had to make a presentation last week to the directors and they all welcomed me. ... the directors of X. I have their support. What I said was..when I was offered the job, I said I would take it if I still had their support, ... If there was a confidence thing there, then forget it, I don't want it, I'll go somewhere else. ... they all said that that wasn't a problem and they felt that I could do the job and get the support from them and "Let's put that behind us and get on with it" kind of thing, which was quite encouraging, because I think that to go there under a cloud would have been pretty wrong. It would have been kind of easy just to run away from these problems and say "OK, that's it. It's not going to work now. Let's move on to something else." That's the easy thing to do in these situations, because I still think that we can make a real success of this project. It's not that far off. ... '
