The tech media is complicit in the marginalization of the IT leader
Every tech publication scolds the CIO for not being oriented enough and knowledgeable enough about business. The “professional” journalists and editors at these publications go on and on about how CIOs need to get closer to the business, deal with strategic issues, etc. But the fact of the matter is, they haven’t got a clue what that means themselves. All these guys can talk about is tech, tech, and more tech. It’s pathetic.
Need some proof? Listen to what the editors of the big IDG publications say really matters in 2012. OMG
And these guys blame the IT leaders and managers in corporations for being overly consumed with technology? Puhleez

What brilliant insights … NOT.
