It's going to be a draining time ahead for Margaret Hodge, chair of the Commons Select Committee on Public Accounts, and the BBC. Grilling DG Mark Thompson and Erik Huggers today about the Digital Media Initiative, she repeatedly asked "What went wrong ?", and the only vague answer she got was "We wrongly opted for a fixed price contract".
Thompson's tap dancing was spectacular. First, the previous end-to-end digital workflow adopted at Pacific Quay was "not the same scale", and "not relevant", then it was when awarding the DMI contract to Siemens. And all the time, he alleged that there are now DMI "modules" working in the business, which surprises me. Anyone inside help ?
