Peter Weill will be visiting Australia from MIT to give a talk at a
conference in Brisbane <http://www.eii.edu.au/seminar/GovIT>. The ANU
has arranged for him to also speak in Canberra on IT and business
strategy (details below).
Some may recall that Peter was one of the "gang of four" who gave
evidence on outsourcing to the Senate Finance and Public
Administration References Committee in 1997:

Peter's talk comes after Rob Thomsett's talk to the ACS in Canberra
last week, where he castigated IT project managers for failing to
properly involve their sponsors in projects
