The Chief Information Officer's Body of Knowledge
The CIO has come to be viewed in many organizations as a key contributor in formulating strategic business goals. The CIO aligns and leverages people, process, and technology to so that organizations sustain and gain advantages in the marketplace. As older Chief Information Officers retire and leave the workforce, there must be a cadre of younger IT managers to step up and provide the necessary leadership for companies to sustain their successes.

Offering solutions for many of the problems CIOs face, this unique book addresses the Chief Information Officer's role in managing and running IT as a business, so the IT department may become a full strategic partner in the organization's crucial decisions.
With over thirty contributions from practitioners who handle both the day-to-day and longer term challenges that IT departments and their parent businesses face, this hands-on, practical desk reference is written in lay terms for business people and IT personnel alike. THE CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER'S BODY OF KNOWLEDGE helps individuals understand how to assist companies in establishing standard practices so they may become more effective and efficient, and it provides guidance on how a businessperson and IT can work together to maximize business value.
