 <title>better than the IT Swami?</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;By &quot;better&quot; do you mean more accurate? more interesting? more thought-provoking?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Predicting is a fool&#039;s game. So let me predict a continuing trend of predictions that invoke the credit crunch and recession and say that as a result ITIL tools and consulting from vendors, and continual improvement projects within companies, will become even more in demand, to cut costs. I further predict that nothing of the sort will happen - companies will either bumble along as before (to their various levels of expertise) or will sit on their hands and do nothing at all because they&#039;re uncertain about the future of their budgets, their jobs, even their companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;:)&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;In my crystal ball I see a shrinking waterhole with the crocodile inhabitants getting very tetchy. Anyone sane trying to find water will be migrating to fresher open waterholes.&lt;/p&gt;
