I am sympathetic to the company doing the interview here. If you've been in one place for 15 years straight doing internal IT, you are unlikely to have much in the way of diversified experience. Every time you work with a new customer or take a new position at a new company, you're going to see new ways to do things. Some will be better, some will be worse, but, you'll see them, and even more so, you'll be exposed to the goods/bads.
Some large companies have expectations that you'll move around internally every few years to change things up and when people don't, they have a way of not making it in review cycles.

"Because we feel you are not diversified enough to address our issues." Same issues I have addressed over the years poor issue management, no project management, no documentation, crashing servers, IT staff treating the network like a high school lab.. etc. Not only can I stop the bleeding and stabilize the patient (gave then how I would do it), I can implement a more proactive approach to IT management and stop the fires (also gave details.) I guess they rather have the fires...
