I'm not sure why it strikes in these fields more than others, but it causes chaos wherever security and business intermix. I don't know what the solution is tho .. I could say "get an MBA" ... having done that, and being wisened up in the process. But the cost of an MBA (year or two out of action) is way too high for a general solution. OTOH, if you are going to be making CISO level decisions, perhaps that is the cost you have to bear? Every other senior manager is expected to have an MBA these days, at least in USA.
