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. In this chapter, Barton and his team realize that they must formulate a policy around the company's social media strategy and devise a strategy for spotting emerging technologies early and analyzing the potential risks and benefits involved in their use. This chapter is excerpted from "The Adventures of an IT Leader."
