Would you be convinced that IT managers prefer to continue to steer their company into the next wall, convinced that it will serve their career? I may have only reformulated what you stated above, in that case. I see two dominant scenarios for the future: Either this continues and *All* comes to an end, for any of the multitude of possible reasons. Or different things become important, which should change an IT manager's conduct. So, are there really no counter examples? Would those who talk in this thread be the last remaining reasonable people? I am out of IT for about 15 years. All this is becoming comfortably obscure for me but I remember at least 1 company which went bankrupt because their quality standards were too high and the customers had neither understood nor liked that.
