In a blog post on Heller Search Associates, Bennett suggests some practical steps for helping your IT department become recognized and appreciated.
“How can you show the company the benefits IT is bringing, and help them to process and understand that story? The first step is to accept the inadequacy of working in silence while hoping the company understands the impact you are having.”
