The greatest IT project on earth: Interview with former CIO of the London Olympics

Add bookmark

When we think of the Olympics, we think of the athletic achievements, the human endeavour, and the drama of the sports. What we don’t normally acknowledge when we’re sitting at home comfortably watching the games is the amount of technology that is required to make the whole thing come off.  But there’s a parallel Olympiad that happens – one that’s about IT performance.

In this Process Perspectives podcast Gerry Pennell, the former CIO for the London Olympics 2012 discusses what it took to pull off the "greatest show on earth" from a technology standpoint.
