"Now, I know I'm not going to change any of your minds who are inclined to dismiss IT as a bunch of maladroit geeks bent on dominating the world with shiny flashy spinny new systems that can't possibly understand the nuances and subtleties of a RRS " Gee, are you talking about my ex-husband? Just kidding... For me in the bigger scheme of things, the IT folks can be potentially deposed as often as I potentially can. We absolutely have to partner. That means no silos. That means lots of communications. We are not adversaries - we can not afford that. If my IT colleagues and I are in sync, we potentially get to bend the ears of two VPs - technology & legal. I like where I report - within legal. Specifically within litigation & compliance. At least this reporting arrangement works for me in this particular company and I, like Patrick, have had my choices. Sorry - I think I repeated part of my post from last week on this subject. At least I'm consistent. Rock on!
