Comment
The issue is that many senior board directors have never been educated in or had experience of ICT as a strategic change device. They simply it see via the prism of old style management techniques and organisational structures. Having delayered staff in 1990s they simply see IT as a cost reducer. This is why companies like BT and IBM have had to move more into consultancy services. BUt perhaps the answer is get more unis and business schools to produce managers where IT is an integrated part of a course and not a stand alone module.
