Abstract
The shift of the DP role as a traditional administrative function to an integral element of the company's strategy calls for top‐level computer people with all‐round business acumen. Executive searches (head‐hunting) proves more effective than word or mouth, advertising or agencies. British Telecom employed such a search, which is described, immediately after privatisation.
