Companies are usually so obsessed with their fixed assets in IT that they stary believing these are more important than their human assets. This is especially true in the recession where businesses are laying off experienced IT staff and replacing them with cheaper graduates - but they end up realising too late how much they depended on those great people.

It strikes me as being similar to the Golden Gate bridge... by the time the crew finishes painting the bridge, it is time to start all over again.
