From the Back Cover
Praise for The Transformational CIO"The Transformational CIO presents what may be the first (and only) comprehensive view of the multiple dimensions of challenges that CIOs are facing. It goes beyond just the technical 'flavor of the day' (e.g., cloud computing) and integrates a complete view of business, cultural, and leadership factors that must be considered. It goes further than that as a guide, a trip planner, and perhaps a basic reference for success in the complex times to come."
--Howard Rubin, founder, Rubin Worldwide
"Today's CIOs are under intense pressure to generate results for the business. This book paints a clear picture of how CIOs must operate to achieve success in a highly competitive world."
