>Lies, damn lies and...well you know. When we describe actual IT horrors they call it "anecdotal" and dismiss it.
When we show survey results they make fun of "statistics." I would say the bad guys are in deep, deep denial. They are severely damaging their organizations and want to continue to do so. I was at a client earlier this week and saw it happening once more. IT aggressively dug in, clinging to the wrong answers. Telling the money-making departments that they have to dance to IT's tune and it is just too bad if it damages their productivity. Thanks for the link. I'm spreading it around in the hope that it does some good. It is hard to push back against IT. They snow top management with technical-sounding mumbo jumbo that is mostly bull shit and non-technical managers are flummoxed. Perhaps this will help break through. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
