Peter Hind is the Director of The Coalface Community. With over 30 years industry experience spent among major IT users, international suppliers, local distributors, industry bodies and research organisations Peter has the rare ability to cut through the hype that bedevils the IT industry and to position technology developments in a business context. For ten years Peter ran InTEP, a series of bi-monthly management forums for senior IT executives in ANZ, where he facilitated CIO discussion around the experiences of implementing technologies and management disciplines. Peter drew on this work to co-author ‘The IT Managers Survival Guide'.
