🚨 The Most Dangerous Person in a Company Is the “IT Guy Who Knows Everything”.
1/ Almost every small organization has one.
The single person who: • Fixes computers • Knows the passwords • Manages the server • Installs software • Controls the network
Everything depends on them.
That is not efficiency. That is a risk.
2/ When knowledge lives in one person’s head, the business becomes fragile.
If that person leaves tomorrow, operations slow down immediately.
Systems break. Access disappears. No documentation exists.
3/ Good IT practice is not about one smart technician.
It is about structure.
• Documented systems • Shared access policies • Backup procedures • Clear IT governance
Technology must be institutional knowledge, not personal knowledge.
4/ Mature organizations treat IT like infrastructure.
Just like electricity or water.
Reliable. Structured. Documented.
5/ If your business depends on one person to keep technology running, you do not have an IT system.
You have a dependency.
And dependencies eventually fail.
6/ Build systems that outlive individuals.
That is real digital maturity.
