“Why does it take so long to get a big-corporate IT person to do anything useful? Because big-corporate IT people have horrible incentives. They don’t get a share of the bottom line. They don’t get credit when things go right, and if they have a fantastic idea for a way to make things better, their incentive is to sit on it because otherwise it’ll just be stolen by their employer. But whenever they make a mistake, there’s a long line of people outside the door screaming for their turn to beat up on the IT guy.”
