You will gain insights from the first CIO of the USA, take a peek into the future with the CIO at Google, learn the unique role IT plays in testing Microsoft applications, and much more. \u003cp\u003e Yourdon focuses on how his interviewees tackle the day-to-day work of managing information in their organizations while revealing much more: How they got there, how they manage and allocate resources, and how they interact with business units and assure that their companies take advantage of technologies and automation to make employees even more productive. Surveying a variety of unique corporations, you'll get a great sense of what can be done and what is being done now in organizations around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Simply put, \u003cstrong\u003eEd Yourdon's\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCIOs at Work\u003c\/em\u003e is a fascinating read. The author has managed to illuminate the real challenges confronting the Chief Information Officer. The technical expertise of his extraordinary interviewees and their personal insights into the changing role of technology in business are in no short supply. But, what really stands out-- beyond the banter about \"clouds,\" \"agile development,\"--is the human dimension. More than anything else, the CIO is wrestling with profound issues: the proliferation of choices, the speed of change, the shorter attention spans of consumers, the \"everyone's an expert\" mindset, and the growing expectation for limitless and low cost computing resources that are as open and accessible as they are safe, secure and accurate. At last, the CIO has a human face, but also an enormous burden that can only be appreciated by reading Yourdon's probative interviews.\" --\u003cstrong\u003eJon Toigo, Managing Principle, Toigo Partners International\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cp\u003e Featured CIOs: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ben Fried, \u003cstrong\u003eGoogle \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTony Scott, \u003cstrong\u003eMicrosoft\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Monte Ford, \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Airlines\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Mittu Sridhara, \u003cstrong\u003eLadbrokes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Steve Rubinow, \u003cstrong\u003eNYSE\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Lew Temares (retired), \u003cstrong\u003eUniversity of Miami \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMark Mooney, \u003cstrong\u003eMcGraw-Hill\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dan Wakeman, \u003cstrong\u003eEducational Testing Services\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Lynne Ellen, \u003cstrong\u003eDetroit Energy\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Becky Blalock, \u003cstrong\u003eSouthern Company\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ken Bohlen, \u003cstrong\u003eArizona Public Services\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Roger Gurnani, \u003cstrong\u003eVerizon\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ashish Gupta, \u003cstrong\u003eBritish Telecom\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joan Miller, \u003cstrong\u003eU.K. Parliament\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Vivek Kundra, (first CIO), \u003cstrong\u003e U.S. Government\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Paul Strassmann, (retired), \u003cstrong\u003eKraft Foods \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eOther books in the Apress At Work Series: \u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eCTOs at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Donaldson, Seigel, \u0026amp; Donaldson, 978-1-4302-3593-4 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eCoders at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Seibel, 978-1-4302-1948-4 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eVenture Capitalists at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Shah \u0026amp; Shah, 978-1-4302-3837-9 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eFounders at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Livingston, 978-1-4302-1078-8 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eEuropean Founders at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Santos, 978-1-4302-3906-2 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eWomen Leaders at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Ghaffari, 978-1-4302-3729-7 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eAdvertisers at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Tuten, 978-1-4302-3828-7 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eGamers at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Ramsay. 978-1-4302-3351-0\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ed Yourdon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Apress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781430235545\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEd Yourdon is an internationally-recognized computer consultant, as well as the author of more than two dozen books, including Byte Wars, Managing High-Intensity Internet Projects, Death March, Rise and Resurrection of the American Programmer, and Decline and Fall of the American Programmer.
