I wrote last week about the hidden risks of downsizing and Ade McCormack has just blogged about the likely impact of enforced budget constraints on CIOs and how the strain that this puts the IT function under is likely to lead to the ‘ball being dropped’.
I agree wholeheartedly with Ade that dropping the ball is a very likely outcome for those organisations and managers that look to the quick fix in hard times. I too am very concerned that the inevitable downsizing of staff, contractors and service providers will create even more risk, rather than simply trimming the bottom line.
I am very pleased that other voices are shouting equally loud. But will the audience listen, or be mesmerised by the fireballs we are juggling?
