Six technology mistakes that executives make

David Cook, owner of 501cio, has written one of the best overviews of common technology mistakes for association professionals that I've seen recently. In his article, "Six Technology Mistakes That Executives Make," he provides useful tips we can all learn from.

Davdi's top-six technology mistakes:
1. Not testing your backups
2. Continuing with manual processes that can be automated
3. Hiring the best techno-geek rather than the best technology leader
4. Not documenting processes
5. Under estimating the total cost of implementing a new piece of technology
6. Failing to consider the impact of a technology initiative on existing processes, staff, members, and donors

His article is definitely worth reading.
