“Mistakes are at the center of any business technology innovation--swing for big wins, sometimes fail, learn and improve. We embraced this idea as part of this year's InformationWeek 500 by asking every IT team to share its biggest mistake this year. Not everyone was comfortable discussing them publicly--the wound is too fresh for some, and many are still working on the fix. What follows are real-world examples from IT teams willing to share.” The article goes into 8 examples in these categories:
- Treating mobile development like desktop development
- Assuming everyone wants a social network inside a company
- Using outsourcing the wrong way
- Underestimating the upside
- Struggling to get off legacy systems
- Taking on too much
- Getting into a virtualization rut
- Underestimating mobile demand
