Does your IT stop you?

A recent study revealed that managers think that IT does not help with productivity. As a matter of fact, the majority think IT does slow down.
When you read about studies like that - do you believe it? Or do you think is just humbug? Or do you just ask: Who was asked and how was the study done?
Despite the results of those studies: Step back and take a look at your IT. I am sure you can easily find areas for improvement.

Is the budget used effectively?
Is the ROI still what it should be?
Are employees still in line with the companies’ vision?

Organizations, public and private, suffer this fate when the leadership has no moral/ethical commitment to nurturing positive organizational culture.
Efficiency pays it dividends to the upper strata of leadership despite the lack of ethic, while the lower levels suffer to subsist by virtue of the deteriorating decline in excellence and cultural staying power.

Case studies from the last 10 years have shown that the first ’stumble’ into an abyss of decline is the lopping of school budgets by means of destaffing personnel. Teams, faculties and cultures are many times devastated, leading to voluntary exodus of more valuable personnel. This many times leads to a halt, then a decline in student achievement, then school/district effectiveness/value to the community, which initiates parents’ search for other educational/living options. In most of these communities, the tax savings is the last benefit for many years due to the decline of the economy/tax base because of the parent-flight. The economic recovery in many of the districts/communities served by boards with this mindset takes decades…and the school systems’ recovery (if ever) take even longer.
