"Ade McCormack hits at the key issues, the Business/IT relationship can no longer be one of master/slave, but must evolve into one of value based partnership for business advantage. An essential read for those organisations who believe there has to be a third way between traditional business and IT approaches."
--Eddie Short, Vice President, Global Lead - Business Information Management, Capgemini, London

Business people do not seem to understand technologists and the technologists do not seem to care. This is a problem when it comes to yielding best value from one's IT investment. Other sources of value dampening lurk within the realms of strategy, processes, technology, services and governance.

This book is based on the author's IT Value Stack methodology, which helps business leaders take control of their IT investment. Boardroom-bound CIOs will also find this book of value. As will those that advise on strategic business-IT matters.

The model is corroborated with input from influential people working within the world's most successful end-user, business advisory and technology organisations.
Autorenporträt
Ade McCormack has over twenty years experience in the business-IT space. He is also a public speaker and coach. Ade has a column in the Financial Times advising business leaders on business-IT issues. He is also author of the acclaimed book - IT Demystified. An astrophysicist by training, he entered the IT industry as a real-time embedded software engineer. Through Brownian motion his career recoiled into project management. Today he focuses more on people development, advisory, writing and public speaking in the IT value realisation space. Ade is married with one son and lives in the Chilterns in England. His interests include road / cross-country running and French jive, the latter being a form of dance which Ade has single handedly, and perhaps inadvertently, evolved into a martial art.
