Si monumentum....

Former DG George Entwistle DOES have a legacy at the BBC, according to the latest minutes of the Executive Board.  His action plan seems to have lasted longer than he did.

"The Board noted that the 100 day plans initiated by George Entwistle had been reviewed by the Management Board. Some had now become business as usual matters and were progressing in line with current plans (e.g. Technology Review). Others had been paused until Tony Hall started."

My eyes lit up at "Technology Review", but the rest of the minutes are no help. There is, apparently, a new team running the elusive Digital Media Initiative, and plans for a new business case - which should delight the Public Accounts Committee and the National Audit Office. They'll also raise eyebrows at this note. "The Board was keen to understand how many £20m+ technology projects were currently underway.". You'd think with Zarin Patel (Money) and Ralph Rivera (Future Media) in the room, that should have been answered straightaway. Or are they not sure ?
