Book Reviews of Managing IT as a Business: A Survival Guide for CEOs
Book Review: Must Buy if Upgrading from IT Management to CIO
Summary: 5 Stars
Great help for someone that has just upgraded
from IT Management to a CIO role and needed to
upgrade as well his agenda. Excellent source of inspiration
and perfect guide for a profession that is still
under transformation. Definitely a must have.
The book is focused (and written by) on world class CIO positions,
but I found it equally useful for smaller scale CIOs.
It's exactly there that it lacks some information
on the organization of smaller IT groups (<20 persons).
If you are a CIO then buy it. If you are an IT manager
you need something else.
