As a tech manager I have seen it too often. I even chose the the theme of my own blog to puncture some holes in IT for non-IT Business Managers in the Small / Medium Enterprise space. It is not just a question of being "worthwhile" - but investment in technology must be identified after the people, then the processes. At that point technology can be added to the equation Agreed !

Great call. I find that all too often an organization makes a technology decision based on the recommendation of an individual who has an especially significant amount of influence - be it a consultant or internal IT staff. In some cases this works out great for the organization, but in far too many that one person's or small team's voice drowns what would otherwise be much more practical and appropriate decisions for the situation the organization is in. Thanks for calling these folks out! Very true, Jared. Great call.
