Yes, I could devote every article to the pervasiveness of bad IT management and it&#8217;s chilling effects on business, but it depresses me and it&#8217;s time to move on, so we&#8217;ll wrap that up today.&#160; The next article will be on how to fix IT gone bad&#8230; tips anyone can use to restore the value [...]]]></description>

Who da man? - 
What does it matter that the top IT leaders of today are more and more akin to the Pointed-Haired Boss instead of the&#160;Pocket-Protectored Practitioners of the past? An IT department is just a commodity service&#160;provided by a&#160;collection&#160;of people needing to be supervised, so&#160;any MBA will do&#8230; right?  
Well, interestingly enough, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
CIO Magazine has an archive of issues stretching back to 1994.&#160; If you want to know what&#8217;s been on the minds of IT leaders over the last decade, CIO Magazine is a definitive source.&#160; Notable among their&#160;works are the CIO Surveys.&#160;&#160;After a decade of&#160;unparalleled&#160;innovation in computing, one might expect that the role of the IT [...]]]></description>

Mistaking good values for good values -
There are a few themes that I&#8217;ll go back to over and over again. Here is one:
&#8220;Your IT is a reflection of your organization&#8217;s values.&#8221;
That&#8217;s a good thing, right? You organization values the work it does, those it employs and those it serves, so if your IT is following [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before we look at IT as a whole, let&#8217;s take a look at a more obvious example.&#160; It&#8217;s pretty easy to define the job of a programmer. &#160;They take a set of requirements and write code that meets the requirements.&#160; It&#8217;s also easy to make that case that programmers can be used to generate value&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the boss&#8217; fault.&#160; There&#8230; I said it.&#160; But that&#8217;s not important right now.&#160; First, a lesson in macro-economics, innovation&#160;and human nature.
Is computing a commodity?
A commodity is&#160;a bulk&#160;product that has no differentiation&#160;among vendors.&#160; Commodities are bought and sold almost exclusively based on price as opposed to quality or other unique values and features.

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s IT?&#160; For a complete, clear and detailed explanation, we turn to Wikipedia.&#160; Well, ok, so I jest&#8230;&#160;it&#8217;s woefully vague, probably inaccurate,&#160;though not entirely&#160;indefensible.&#160; The current entry just doesn&#8217;t annoy anyone enough to bother changing it &#8211; it&#8217;s a &#8220;democratic truth&#8221;.&#160; Fact is, IT used to mean something, but misuse, time and evolution have diluted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been in the so-called &#8220;IT&#8221; profession for more than half my life. &#160;I am shocked to find how little has changed in that time&#8230; and how much everyone thinks it has.
I was pleased to find a lovingly-written article on the perennially reborn, long-beloved operating system called GEOS. &#160;If you haven&#8217;t heard of it, [...]]]></description>
