Very intuitive book, I would recommend.

I expected some depth in the subject but the book provides overview on broad range of topics that senior leaders in IT and in general should also consider apart from strategic alignment.

this book is very informative and helpful. Even when I finish my class, I can still see myself reading this book and learning more about the role and task that CIOs perform.

In this compilation, renowned names in information technology describe managerial developments in their field for chief information officers (CIOs). Insiders Robert Stephens, Bill Flemming, Michael Hugos, Randy Betancourt, Alyssa Farrell, Jonathan Hujsak, Gary Cokins and Kurt Schubert - edited by Joe Stenzel - discuss IT leadership, social networking, social connectivity, cloud computing and energy efficiency. Sound management advice and a deep understanding of IT's strategic importance await patient readers. Due to their technical nature, getAbstract recommends these essays to IT specialists and active or aspiring CIOs eager to grasp the forces shaping IT.

This book is pretty fundamental; nothing earth shattering but some good insight from a former CIO. Although I'm not a CIO, I am a manager that reports directly to the CIO so I thought this would be beneficial to my career. It's written well with examples from the author's own experiences and those experiences are valuable in that they illustrate the theory. It's a little redundant at times but I suppose that is to reinforce the key points. I just found myself skipping sections that had been covered at least once, sometimes twice before. I would still recommend it. It's an easy read.
