Comment

It takes courage to admit when something fails and this guy just wants to pin blame on everyone but himself.

I just don't like this CIOs attitude at all.

The end-user is like the customer, they are always right. Something went wrong here, its not clear what happened but its not because the end-user is a moron.

The CIO needs to pinpoint the areas of failure and work it out; training, project management, requirements, product selection, vendor commitment ....

So far the CIO is in danger of alienating him/herself from the the users and thats not a good career move.
