It's now been about 100
days since I left my 27-year gig during which I took no extended time
off. The last 3+ months have been remarkably refreshing and reinforces
my position that sabbaticals are mission critical for key people
(especially IT). Removing oneself from the legacy systems, fiscal
constraints, fiscal versus operational decision-making, cubical/office
environment gives time to think about your craft and the value points
with that practice. IT is, of course, all about process improvement and
IT leadership is remarkably well-positioned to understand he breadth of
organizational opportunities for innovative IT application, much more
than the iFolks with the ever-hollow "there's an app for that." I
neglected to mention that the time away gives very clear insights into
the politics of IT in the AEC industry.
