Traditional IT management is much to conservative for the web. It requires a seperate group of IT professionals, lead by the Web leadership to keep up with this fast moving area.

Yesterday's solutions don't work for today's problems never mind tomorrow's. What enterprises need is someone to tie together all the web based demands and services across the organization. Most CIOs aren't in that position. Since most IT departments spend 75%-90% of budget and resources keeping legacy systems alive they don't have time for new initiatives and their mindset, culture and business plans will typically crush any innovation (BTW: isn't that what the I in CIO should stand for?)that would get in their way of keeping the lights on. Most IT departments and managers, not all but most, are tactical thinkers and not strategic. It's been reported that at least 65% of the IT workers will retire within the next 5-10 years. Maybe the senior people should be encouraged to take early leaving packages to get them and their road-block mentality out of the picture and make room for new ways of thinking. As an IT manager for many years I was involved with the NO mindset. Now as a 'born-again' IT guy and consultant I get frustrated when talking to traditional IT managers who view social media as something to block at the firewall.
