5 Dangerously Scary Trends Causing Job Loss to IT Managers Everywhere
IT managers are losing their jobs left and right because of poor management, leadership and strategy skills, not technical ones. These scary trends will continue if IT managers do not shape up and heed the warning signs.
Atlanta, GA - 8/2/2006 - IT managers are being hunted by outsourcers looking to replace them with more economical solutions. However, these outsourced solutions have a hidden flaw that could compromise business advantage in the future. IT managers aware of these attacks can use strategy, leadership and management to thwart their pursuit and ultimately provide extreme value these hunters are relentlessly stripping away.
Joey Smith, Founder of IT Octane says \"that in my experience, IT outsourcers have too many businesses to deal with to provide true strategic value to companies that are not savvy enough to understand the difference.\" He also says that \"IT managers can go a long way to provide value to their organizations if they just turn their focus on the business instead of the technology.\"
IT managers that turn their attention to strategy versus tactics will ultimately survive outsourcing thus provide businesses with the value they are searching for any way.
