This is also entirely possible.

Well... my boss is now the Director of Finance. (The Director of IT used 
to report directly to him. Now the whole IT group reports directly to 
him.) He knows nothing about computers. (I've met him in meatspace. 
Trust me, he knows *nothing* about computers!) And he knows even less 
about how to operate a computer system in the minefield of government 
regulations. (But then, the Director of IT didn't really grok that fully 
either - much to my dismay.)

So it's probably going to be quite quiet around here for a while. I 
imagine now all the various IT people will crawl back into their 
seperate little holes and just do their own thing independently - like 
they did before we hired this guy...
