A good IT manager must also be a strong business leader.  This book invites you to accompany new CIO Jim Barton to better understand the role of IT in your organization. You'll see Jim struggle through a challenging first year, handling (and fumbling) situations that, although fictional, are based on true events.  You can read this book from beginning to end, or treat is as a series of cases. You can also skip around to address your most pressing needs. For example, need to learn about crisis management and security? Read chapters 10-12. You can formulate your own responses to a CIO's obstacles by reading the authors' regular \"Reflection\" questions.  You'll turn to this book many times as you face IT-related issues in your own career.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44455944487131,"sku":"9781422146606-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781422146606-us-300.jpg?v=1700446075","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781422146606-secondhand-adventures-of-an-it-leader","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
