Abstract
It was January 2005, more than one year after Mavuso Msimang had accepted the position as Chief Executive Officer of the State Information and Technology Agency (SITA). In its five years of existence, SITA had experienced tumultuous times and had been accused of poor service delivery, mismanagement and corruption. In 15 months Msimang had laid the groundwork for a turnaround and he believed that SITA was now finally on the road to recovery. Still, there was some way to go before the organisation was functioning optimally. Was he on the right track, he wondered.
