PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training

An anonymous reader writes "As if all of us aren't already already aware of this, PHBs don't know jack squat about computer technology, and they won't seek any training from their own IT staff because that would be an admission of "weakness" so instead they are getting outsiders to train them in secret." Lucrative work for the secret tutors I s'pose. I guess getting tutored in secret is better than just floundering in ignorance.

So whats the big deal?

These poeple *should* have doting secretarys and support staff that will do these sort of thing for them. The higher up you go, the less you should concern yourself with that sort of thing - even the CTO at a company not concerned with making a computer or hi tech product directly would be better serving the company by concentrating on future projections of where the tech will go and how to make that pay off for the company.

It's strategy and solid business plannning along with executing that strategy that the big boys need to be concerned with....not figuring out how to open a Excel spreadsheet.
