Gartner analyst Andreas Bitterer makes some interesting observations about project managers in your article on information management skills (The formula for success).

Business may be continuous, but management is discrete. Failure among technologists to recognise this is one of  many reasons why they are not taken seriously. Project managers are just the messengers.

As a data person with a business degree, I am interested to see evidence that businesses are willing to pay money for people who don't fit in discrete technology or business boxes.
