Reactive to Proactive

Well it is like this:

I have been in the IT field for roughly 25 years and most companies treat the IT Infrastructure worse than the mailroom.

As an experienced IT Professional, the IT is one of or the very last to have the equipment or software to do the latest or greatest or keep your company a safe haven from the outside world.

Lot of managers may have the education but lack the experience with the latest trends of what is out there.
?Leadership is only as good as the experience at hand?

CIO?s are part of the companies pyramid of promoting and a lot of those who I have met could barley type a letter in any Office package let alone EXPLAIN to the CFO and CEO or President about the expenses needed to be PROACTIVE.
They fail to understand the complexity let alone the correct language (layman?s) to use for requesting IT needs.

The IT budgets are the first to be axed for failure of the complexity of the needs via the wrong people explaining the needs.
