I wish to see the day that we need license to practice IT. Those who are found to be malpractice should be stripped of their capability to work in this field. Without an industry wide governance of IT practitioners, there will be too many situations of pretenders and business people who makes technical decisions on behalf of IT.

What’s worst, these so called IT practitioners would just hold their tongue and cheekily agree that it is the best decision ever made.

The business can find a 2nd or 3rd opinion from an IT proposal; but we do not argue with our doctors and haggle on price about how much liver should be removed when its found to be cancerous…

Until such time, IT is executed and treated like a flee market.

Hi Chris,

For me the big thing to discern is the CIO only a “staff” person, that is they control indirect costs and create value as part of the non-line organization, or are they seen as Bill above from McGraw-Hill obviously was which is to be a major line part of the organization and delivery capability.

I bet this drives a LOT of the support versus non-support. Also, when we see a CIO in a business where IT is core, like in a bank, and they don’t get respect, that tell you a lot!
