[itdiscuss] Director of Technology

[Bobby Stewart]

I've done the half-and-half thing. While it appeals to me with my varied
interests, it was extremely difficult to manage. I was actually
reporting to two supervisors. IT won out over AV when the Business
Manager began to understand the workload and, as Dan states, a person's
limited capacity to manage all things well.

Chris,

You certainly could hire someone to oversee all areas, but even such a
person is hard to find. If you did, you would still have to hire other
to support his direction...just my two cents. While it would seem like
you might get a two-for-one package, you really would be getting a
half-and-half package, because people's capacity is  limited.

We are considering adding a Director of Technology position to our
staff.  One of the questions that has been raised is whether this
individual could not only handle normal technology matters but also what
I call "production technology" matters.  Such things as overseeing the
video camera teams, sound & light teams, really any technology that goes
with "producing" (forgive my language) a funeral through the Sunday
morning worship services.

 

Do any of you have this in your church?  If so, do you have a job
description?  Who would this person report to in your organization?

 

If these are clearly two distinct jobs, would you please send me the
respective job descriptions for your organization?

 

Thank in advance.
