The Digital Divide in Project Management

This could be a good topic for a discussion . I have some defintie views on this subject ... will post it later . Meanwhile one of our members had interesting observations . These are reproduced below ... this could kickstart the discussion .

I am not sure on what you mean by "bridge the "digital divide" in project management (Between IT and non - IT sectors )".
If it means IT Industry lack of interest/focus in Project Management, some of the reasons I thought off are,
- Most of the IT projects are executed with a sufficient budget and high profit margins, Cost Control is not an major issue unlike other industry.
- Some of the big IT companies in India is having 30 % excess staff in their resource pool proves the major operational difference between IT and Non IT sectors.
I thing we should emphasize, Project Management is not just a Budget and Schedule control method and also the difference between quality management (CMM, Six sigma ....) and Project Management.
