How often has your business committed to an initiative and made announcements in the press about it, only to find that IT hasn’t managed to get its house in order in time for you to deliver?
Hopefully not very often.
Unfortunately, that was the situation that faced the UK Minister of State for Competitiveness, Stephen Timms, last November.
Significant parts of the new UK Companies Act were due to come into force on 1st October 2008. However, Timms was forced to announce that the starting date has been put back by 12 months to 1st October 2009 because the government IT systems at Companies House needed to implement the changes would not be ready in time.
As you might expect this did not go down very well in some sections of the business community.
