Here are five common ways foundations cause more problems than they solve: Providing short-term funding for a long-term outcome. These practices may be so deeply rooted in a funder’s culture that they are practiced without anyone realizing the problems they may be causing as a result. The nature of philanthropy is a want to help.

In many cases, the vendor has the server, the vendor makes the software, and more often the not, and there’s no access to server-side scripting, such as PHP.

One of the things I notice working with our users is that some IT folks are born problem solvers and troubleshooters, and some aren't. I realize we are talking about two kinds of problems here. One seems more creative - a user has a business problem and we use technology to devise a solution. A technical problem appears, and needs to be resolved.

He explains: If you do not work on an important problem, it's unlikely you'll do important work. Great scientists have thought through, in a careful way, a number of important problems in their field, and they keep an eye on wondering how to attack them. Let me warn you, `important problem' must be phrased carefully. That is what makes a problem important.
