Opis

Reinventing the Information Technology Department is both anecdotal and informal but deals with a subject which is of interest to chief information officers (CIOs) and IT Managers, addressing questions such as: how does the IT department keep pace with business change?; how do we provide stable and responsive IT platforms?; how do we add recognized value to the organization?; how do I reinvent my department?; how do I get onto the board?

Recenzje

'This book is written in an anecdotal and informal style, but with lots of academic input, including lists of references and implementation ideas for each chapter.'
Carey Gray - Computer Bulletin, May 2002
