FROM AN INSIDER, A FEW WORDS ABOUT SHELL CIO ALAN MATULA
John, please add this to the IT string GSAP/GPMR: THE MARCH OF THE DINOSAURS…
Matula has been mentioned a few times in this string of posts. He was the ‘brain’ (meant cynically) behind the complete outsourcing of IT business last year. That was another ‘spectacular’ from him and earned him promotion.
Yet again a very big promise and great underdelivery and as we all know, this is the key to succes in modern Shell. It now is such a mess that even the helpdesks do not function anymore. We have 3 partners that are quite disconnected and have no idea what the others are doing.
The business now needs to contract for a simple project more than 1 project manager (from competing service outfits) because no single IT service company has all technologies in house. Obviously recipe for disaster, they can always blame the other. And watch this space: Matula will muddle on for another 1-2 years, thereafter he will disappear to another company with a great CV and the next IT head honcho can go and sort out the mess. The outsourcing to AT&T, T-SYS and EDS is becoming the mother of all skeletons in the cupboard. And that cupboard is already very full as we can all read on the Donovan site!!

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
