Quick Poll: Impediments to Business-Focused Technology Innovation

In October, I asked readers "Who in your organization is the primary source of business-focused technology innovation?".  So far, Chief/Lead Architects are leading that poll, followed by Business Architects/Strategists.

Continuing on the business-focused technology innovation theme, now I'm wondering what impedes business-focused technology innovation.  Essentially, what (or who) holds innovation hostage in organizations?  Or, are there no impediments? 

Please take a minute to answer the quick poll below.  For feed subscribers, the direct poll link is here.

Thanks!
