What You Will Find in This Book
Ideally, this book will serve as a helpful and very general guide for CIOs, IT leaders, and IT suppliers. It is by no means exhaustive, but it does cover many of the critical topics that concern IT executives struggling to manage successfully in today's rapidly changing markets.
The book's opening chapters are arranged loosely around a four-step process model. The subsequent chapters deal with crucial matters, such as partnering with the business, how to think like a CEO, what to do in your first 30 days on the job, and how to prepare for the next steps on your career path.
I have included as many charts and graphs as possible to help you visualize the main points of my argument. I have also included numerous examples of real-world situations in which IT leaders successfully managed the types of challenges and issues that, sooner or later, you are likely to confront in your career. I sincerely hope that you find these examples both interesting and useful.
