Incompetent IT "leadership"

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are very good and business outlook is slowly improving (still not great though)

Cons

IT has too much decision making power and seems to follow industry trends without fully understanding the impact. In addition - most of their senior leadership are PM's, so they must rely on 3rd party / outsourced resources to actually do the implementations. No accountability.
