Their CMS needs a better copy editor too...

I think he needs to refine his thoughts a bit more. The definition he comes up with is a bit vague, and needs more discussion, as do some of the examples he uses. In particular, some will wonder *why* it's not an IT job for a DBA to "pull financial reports" - he needs to clarify and defend that and other examples, to sharpen the discussion for those who aren't particularly IT-competent. Also, he needs to highlight that the responsibility of producing corporate IT policy works in both directions. The policies need to server the mission of the organization, but they also need to be informed by the best judgment of IT, both about security and about technical possibilities. Plus, he needs a better copy editor. Some of his locutions are cringe-inducing - for instance, he uses 'hedge' when he probably means 'hinge' Like I said - no answers, just the beginning of a discussion, and worthy of handing off to clueful execs.
