Oh how we laughed, reinforces how out of touch and irrelivant the BCS is, and why so few IT pros bother with them

He's not the CEO at BT, but CIO, and the CEO of BT Exact, which is BT's IT business. It's rather odd that he's taken to calling himself a CEO, because one of his mantras was that the IT division was not a separate internal business. Al-Noor is a showman and a charlatan. He stuffed BT with cronies who owe their careers to him. Most of the work has been shipped offshore. Soon TCS and Infosys will have a nice neckhold on BT. Worst of all, his methods don't actually work. Agile isn't relevant to a corporation whose IT workload is mostly systems integration and process design. Al-Noor was sacked by Qwest with a final job title of Technical Adviser. His top priority has been to make himself unsackable at BT. Al-Noor's vision is to peddle the nonsense that the world is going faster and faster, and only one man can save us from the dizzying pace of change - Al-Noor Ramji.
