Description

"The Adventures of an IT Leader" invites readers to "walk in the shoes" of Jim Barton, the new CIO of the fictional IVK Corporation, as he spends a difficult year learning effective information technology leadership, sidestepping the pitfalls that make the CIO job the most volatile, high-turnover job in the business. After several months of both turmoil and improved performance for the fictional IVK Corporation, Barton sits down with his CEO to discuss options for risk management and reduction. Although a company can never be sure of complete protection against risk, they consider the costs and benefits of different approaches. This chapter is excerpted from "The Adventures of an IT Leader."
