Comments on: Obama Administration Appoints Top CIO http://technologizer.com/2009/03/05/obama-administration-appoints-top-cio/ Reviews, News, and Opinion About Personal Technology by Harry McCracken & Friends Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:04:15 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jim Pivonka http://technologizer.com/2009/03/05/obama-administration-appoints-top-cio/comment-page-1/#comment-11467 Jim Pivonka Sat, 21 Mar 2009 22:18:01 +0000 http://technologizer.com/?p=8843#comment-11467 The reference to IRS' Tax Modernization System brought me up short. I was deeply involved in killing an earlier version, which vaguely I recall being called the Tax System Modernization Plan, in the mid 1980's. We spent a bundle on that, even before it really got going. It was projected as having a 30+ lifecycle, and was so undefined that a major part of the project was to secure contractor assistance in redesingning IRS tax administration programs and processes, befor beginning the system design. My hard work in making sure that monster dies was rewarded with early retirement. I made the mistake of regarding success as a career accomplishment and discussing my methods and strategies openly when applying for more senior positions within IRS. Baaaadddd move. Oh well, trade retirement income for a longer retirement.. not too bad an exchange. Now I'll have time to order and read Scott Rosenberg’s book.
