At the time I was content to let the question stand on its own, but over the years it has never been too far back in my mind. Lately, the question has evolved in my mind to become, “What would school be like if every child had an IEP?

'“The orphaned CIO is a CIO without a leader.” . Have you been in an organization where they do not know where to place the CIO? Organizationally management does not see the CIO as a leader but just the tech guy managing technology and spending money and all around just a cost center. The hardest part is reporting to someone that does not see you as part their team and you are left to fend for yourself and your IT department.

For many IT admins, business as usual is a juggling act. Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation. On a good day, everything runs smoothly. But good days are rare; more often than not, something goes wrong and you’re stuck putting out fires.

That hasn’t changed because of computers. People are why firewalls are invariably misconfigured.
