is that Charlie makes it practical and easily understandable with
his real-life examples. Finally, a road-map for IT professionals

“For me the strength of this book comes towards the end, where
Araujo expands upon the "five skills". As technology has
moved over the years from an esoteric laboratory environment,
through cost-cutting applications, to now be central to business
operations as it drives revenue generation, the management and role
played by the IT division has had to change too. It is easy
to forget that IT is a business function and needs to be evaluated
in a financial sense, and how it creates value to the
organization. Collaborating for innovation is important and
demands good leadership. And, however much we may hate it IT
has to be "sold". Araujo convincingly argues that these are
essential in the IT management role but in reality, with the
pervasiveness of IT to almost every aspect of business and daily
life, they are fundamental to anyone's use of technology.”

“Charles has really nailed it for any executive struggling with IT
strategy. How IT got here and where it’s going. This book
really hits at the heart of what is missing in IT today and
provides step-by-step approaches loaded with examples for steering
the strategic course for IT in the 21st century.”
*Randy Steinberg*
"This is the most definitive book on IT Transformation I have ever
read. It clearly identifies how to perceive, treat and
integrate IT as a true business function. It should be required
reading for all current and aspiring CIOs, CTOs and
CISOs. This paradigm shift is happening right now and this
book demystifies the steps needed to make the journey successful.
Bravo!!"
