Interesting to read Paul Rellis (CEO Microsoft Ireland)
pushing significant amounts of technology in Education and Health as ways to address much of the problems we have.
Would agree 100% with Paul Rellis’s ideas around uses of digital technology. However seems to me risk putting cart before the horse. First we need a clear vision of what we are looking to achieve, then commitment from those in Health & Education to achieve the vision, commitment from the investor (govt.) in terms of any required investment. The technology bit is not actually that hard – using Microsoft technology, other proprietary technology and open source technology – in any, to be agreed, configuration.
But first let’s set vision, get some commitment and manage the change.

I agree with you “where there is no vision the people perish”. The aspect of comittment is only observed in the negative. Too much waffle by all of us in setting targets and making adequate resources available. And a little bit of accountability will go a long way.
