What environmental as well as technological factors would influence my decision? The point that the IT department is being underutilized is a huge problem as well as needs to be addressed immediately. The IT staff wants to be creative as well as innovative and contribute to business strategies however all they do are work on limited applications. Permitting the staff to utilize their talents would be beneficial for the organization. Another subject that would influence my decision would be the possibility of downsizing due to an active campaign by the president of a large regional branch. The organization has skilled workers as well as they need to be utilized in order to keep their positions within the organization.
