Item: The New CIO Leader: Setting the Agenda and Delivering Results
Rating: 5

By Marianne Broadbent and Ellen Kitzis

Two converging factors--the ubiquitous presence of technology in organizations and the recent technology downturn--have brought chief information officers (CIOs) to a critical breaking point. They can seize the moment to leverage their expertise into a larger and more strategic role than ever before, or they can allow themselves to be relegated to the sideline function of "chief technology mechanic." Drawing from exclusive research conducted by Gartner, Inc., with thousands of companies and CIOs, Marianne Broadbent and Ellen Kitzis reveal exactly what CIOs must do now to solidify their credibility with the executive team and bridge the chasm that currently separates business and IT strategy.

The New CIO Leader outlines the agenda CIOs need to integrate business and IT assets in a way that moves corporate strategy forward--whether a firm is floundering, successfully competing, or leading its industry. Mandatory reading for CIOs in every firm, The New CIO Leader spells out how information systems can deliver results that matter--and how CIOs can become the enterprise leaders they should be.

Explaining Demand Management versus Supply Management

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 24, 2008

Broadbent and Kitzis have helped explain something that is rarely done elsewhere: the importance of IT leadership in "Demand Management" versus "Supply Management." Other failings within the book in completeness of authority (i.e., public, private, etc.) and examples or case studies may be forgiven for the clarity the authors offer in separating these two crucial concepts in IT leadership.

Moving Into Line Management

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 21, 2005

Traditionally the senior management of companies have not come from the "staff" organizations like accounting or information management. The authors of this book contend, however, that this time may have passed. With the ubiquitous presence of technology in organizations and the recent technology downturn, the Chief Information Officer have reached a critical breaking point. Based on exclusive research conducted by Gartner,...

A Great Book -- puzzled by other reviewer

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 24, 2004

I don't normally write reviews but I just visited this page to buy a copy of this book for several colleagues because I was so impressed with it -- and then saw the puzzling review. A disclaimer: I am a client of the company these researchers work for so I may be predisposed to think highly of their work. I bought this book at one of their conferences recently in Florida. I think this really is a great book, far better than...

For IT executives who want to make a business contribution.

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 7, 2004

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is a position of responsibility and visibility. In the past, many thought that CIO means career is over. Broadbent and Kitzis demonstrate that this does not have to be the case. Their book, the New CIO Leader, provides a roadmap for the activities and results CIOs need to deliver to move from managing technology to leading a value creating IS organization. Based on working with hundreds...
