Outstanding IT people persistently continue 10 stupid things

You are very busy. You always have to save the fire. Technology is changing at an ever-faster rate. You do what you have to do. It is not surprising, then, that even intelligent IT professionals can do some stupid things.

first thing

1. Keep a weary eye on the emerging technologies and modes of providing technology.

Enterprise 2.0? Bah! Software services? Hum! We are now using technology that we have been using for many years to do very well. Thank you!

Second thing

2. Ignore training and investment in professional development.

Your team of people will never leave because the job market is bad. Is that right? Is that right?

The third thing

3. Completely separate IT budgets from facilities.

How much power can be consumed by dozens of servers? What's the difference between using electricity-saving technology?

fourth thing.

4. Security concerns simply from a technical standpoint.

Your users must know that they should not download sensitive data to a miniature hard drive. No one would be stupid enough to click on a phishing attack email.

fifth thing.

5. Speaking of this, do not lock your laptop.

This will cause too many quarrels.

sixth thing.

6. Consider exceptions to remote users rather than rules.

Do not write their existence to the rules, and do not ask them as much as internal employees. Your company now employs only a small number of remote employees. Unless you check.

seventh thing.

7. Do not allow the manufacturer to develop a technical timetable. But don't expect to hear about upcoming updates and their potential benefits.

You will know when it is appropriate to upgrade. You will feel it profoundly.

eighth thing.

8. Do not set time to read news and analysis, especially for industry and competitor blogs.

Who has the time? The things you are doing are very good. You know, this can't be better, because ..., you know!

nineth thing.

9. Ongoing assessment of new technologies that are limited to the IT sector.

Don't get to know the needs of business managers. After all, the business always adapts to the application you choose.

tenth thing.

10. Put your disaster recovery plans on the shelf.

There has been no major disaster for a long time and there is no disaster near you. Why not bother to upgrade the program to reflect changes in business/technology/staff/world affairs?
