TBL recognizes that for K-12 Information Technology Teams, “summer vacation” is really the “summer busy season” when major projects that cannot be done during the academic year are stuffed into a 90 day window.

“Stop the madness” has been a marketing moniker for several campaigns over the years, most notably in the 1980s during the Reagan administration as a slogan to drive an anti-drug message to kids. It has also been used to peddle diet strategies among other less altruistic endeavors. It seems to me that this phrase may be applicable to the I/T business as well.

The full phrase, penned by Democratic strategist James Carville, “It’s the economy, stupid” helped then candidate Bill Clinton shift the focus of the US electorate away from an immensely popular sitting president and his success in foreign affairs to the quandary of ordinary Americans as the US economy began to slip into recession. Fast forward almost 20 years, narrow the focus to the world of business and the Information Technology that supports it and the cry is still relevant…it’s the economy.
