Yet the vision [for the IT system] is probably coming from me and I really shouldn't be providing the vision because I don't have the business..I understand the business, the way it works, but I don't really know what is important to them and what isn't in terms of the future. I've an idea, but not like David, David was managing the show and knew what was important and where he wanted to be with it. ... he [George the new IT director] does have a vision of where he wants X to be, he is emphasising the multinational side, he thinks multinational equals X, you know what I mean with marine a side issue and the work they do in London for the commercial side, but it is all about X. And I think his vision is a little bit unrealistic, so I am not sure whether that's going to be the solution or not.X022 page 016.02 (tape 02.1.05) Gordan Notes/Trans/Tape 27/01/94He is trying to provide a vision but I'm not sure he has the business to do it. ???
