You are totally right about the pervasive attitude throughout corporate IT organizations. The only point I would question is the "..willing to lose their jobs.." part. Most corporate IT orgs have their story so well prepared to deflect blame in the case of failures that employees are rarely, if ever terminated. Instead the business takes the failure on the chin and all of us in technology have to deal with the reduction in credibility.
- rbanffy 17y agoThere is a tendency the higher profile a failed project is, the highest the chance to redefine success based on its results. This stems from the pain of firing the high-level executive that signed the check. The larger the check, the higher the executive is in the corporate ladder and the more painful the firing, thus, the executive is never fired because the project cannot fail.
