Small to medium sized business often start with little to no IT expertise. They rely on the guidance and information provided by their IT supplier, information from within their network and general information through articles in related publications. As the business grows, IT responsibility is often left to an appointed staff member with limited technical skills who has little to no knowledge of business IT management, and they're left to grow into the role. We also see companies hiring IT Managers that may have great operational and technical skills but lack managerial and strategic IT skills.
