I am interested in hearing about companies out there that have structured the IT manager (these would be smaller companies, not fortune 1000) to report to another department head (like operations or HR) instead of to the executives.
At our organization, the CEO is leaving and the interim CEO is handing over management of IT to Field Services, trying to validate the decision in that IT is like the other areas Field Services manages, such as Fleet and Property Management.
I can barely contain myself at this point, but I am wondering who out there can comment or give some philosophical, experiential discussion on having IT report to a department vs. the executive team.
Thanks in advance.
