Author Susan Cramm claim a point in his article “Put IT Where It Belongs” that IT should not be the organization in the business that leads the mind of the management organization, and what is most important to do is to increasing innovation requires of the business leaders and their teams, and the IT should be the support of leaders not the guide of leaders.

For example smart phones, who is inventing and improving them. The IT, but that is it, that is the part they have to take responsibilities for, but now, it is very clear, the responsibility on their shoulder are too heavy, much heavier than what they should of carry. They have a pressure of innovation, when the business is stock or they are facing a bottleneck, they are going back to the IT, so the IT have to deal with the users, that is what ruins the business, what a term in a business can’t contraction on their part, then the whole business can’t run in the right way.
