Cheap, Fast, and Disposable

Teal Sunglasses: More about IT:Cheap, Fast, and Disposable | AntonellaPavese.com

The opposite side of that? IT organizations that forget why they’re there: which is to build the tools the company succeeds with. I’ve seen far too many IT organizations that become interested in self-perpetuation. Dilbert’s Mordac lists, and thrives, in too many companies. Their budgets bloat, their staffing escalates, and they build huge moats and walls between them and the customers with process and bureaucracy and standards and forms that they become hated, or feared. and worse, other organizations start sneaking around them and implementing hteir own solutions (be honest: does your engineering organization have it’s own “mini IT” to do things you don’t want to let IT have its hands on? Yeah, I thought so)
