This book looks at the impact of Agile and Lean thinking, DevOps, Lean Startup, and other contemporary management ideas to define the new role of IT leadership and how it fits into the business organization.
"Mark shows the steps needed to break free of these challenges and unlock potential, speed, and growth. His advice is pragmatic, practical, and to the point." —Barry O'Reilly, author of Unlearn and Lean Enterprise
"As Mark Schwartz points out in his compelling new book, A Seat at the Table, when CIOs re-conceptualize their role based on Agile principles, they will stop worrying about having a seat at the table, and start realizing all of the full potential of IT." —Martha Heller, author of Be the Business: CIOs in the New Era of IT
Agile, Lean, and DevOps approaches are radical game changers, providing a fundamentally different way to think about how IT fits into the enterprise, how IT leaders lead, and how IT can harness technology to accomplish the objectives of the enterprise. But honest and open conversations are not taking place between management and Agile delivery teams.
In A Seat at the Table, CIO Mark Schwartz explores the role of IT leadership as it is now and opens the door to reveal IT leadership as it should be—an integral part of the value creation engine. With an easy style, Schwartz reveals that the only way to become an Agile IT leader is to be courageous—to throw off the attitude and assumptions that have kept CIOs from taking their rightful seat at the table. CIOs, step on up, your seat at the table is waiting for you.
"Mark Schwartz's A Seat at the Table will be one of the most important books on technology and business leadership of our generation." —Gene Kim, bestselling author of The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project
