Slide 61 of 66
Notes:
I HAVE BEEN IN THE IS FIELD SINCE BEFORE IT WAS BORN
NOT MANY HERE TODAY CAN SAY THAT
IN 1986 MY GOOD COLLEAGUE MARY CULNAN ASKED ME TO BE PART OF A PANEL AT ICIS
THE QUESTION: WILL THERE STILL BE AN ICIS CONFERENCE IN 1996?
THE QUESTION THAT PUZZLED ME THEN WAS THIS: WHY ARE WE WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER WE ARE OK? WHY NOT JUST ACT AS THOUGH WE ARE?
14 YEARS LATER, I WONDER THE SAME THING
THINGS HAVE IMPROVED -- AFTER ALL, WE WERE RIGHT AND THEY WERE WRONG
BUT THE DANGER I SAW THEN IS STILL AMONG US
