I think there are two different kinds of IT value.
The first: I am a competent employee, who can do what needs to be done (in whatever technology).
The second: I am a forward-thinking planner, who surveys and keeps abreast of options and can identify, test, and deploy appropriate ones.
In my experience, it's the second that's lacking. Aka the "we can only deploy if Microsoft holds our hands through it" shops. Usually 1/2 because of lacking talent and 1/2 because of lacking / incorrect policies.
I've seen, but haven't seen too many, instances of "insert crazy state-of-the-art technology." Usually it's just institutional paralysis that prevents anything from getting done.
