A Pragmatic real life guide to Information management

I found this book to the point, insightful and most of all practical. I highly recommend it to technology professionals in the field of Information management.

Concise and Insightful. A must read for any manager.

This book is the one place to get all the information you needed for Performance Management. The author outlines how combining the traditional role of CFO and CIO, into the Chief Performance Officer can increase business value.If you try to get this information from other books or industry analysts (ie. Gartner, Meta, Giga) there is no clear methodology on how to implement a program like this. This book offered the one-stop shopping for perormance management.I like the short case studies in each chapter, since they drive home how people are really doing this.It is a detailed enough book to get the right information, but overburdened with academic theories which can never be applied in business.I would love to see a follow-on book for more case studies and the CPO in action.
