You're in a social situation - at a party or something - You're talking with some CFO or otherwise interesting financial person about work, and Dilbert cartoons, and the wastefulness and inefficiencies of typical corporations or typical organizations, etc. Somebody uses a term like "overhead" or "secondary" referring to support roles. But you're an IT person - You're a support role, and depending on what is your core business, most likely you're overhead. With only a moment's thought, and only a few words, how do you describe the value that your role adds to the organization? How do you justify your own existence, casually, when talking to a CFO or somebody in a social situation?
