With <i>Managing IT as a Business</i> you'll get practical advice on how to unleash the full potential of this critical function so that companies can derive maximum benefit. It offers a proven plan for bridging the gap between CEOs and CIOs that has, until now, impeded their ability to work together in order to craft objectives, establish budget guidelines, and develop metrics for measuring IT value and success. In short, with this book as a guide, business leaders will learn how to manage IT as they would any other functional business unit.

This book is a must-read for all successful executives!"<br /> –Donard P. Gaynor<br /> Former CFO, SVP-HR, CIO, and Reengineering Leader<br /> The Seagram Spirits and Wine Group <p>"Mark Lutchen offers up some important guidance to the CIO on how to bring IT into the mainstream of the business and how the CIO can make the transition from tech guru and administrator to a full member of the executive team."<br /> –Marinus N. Henny<br /> Vice Chairman and CFO<br /> Universal Music Group</p> <p>"Mark Lutchen thinks like an operating executive. He recognizes that IT costs are a major line item in any corporate budget and that these costs must be viewed as a means to building a business rather than an end. He knows that this happens when CEOs and CIOs communicate effectively. That’s what Managing IT as a Business is all about."<br /> –Kenneth Roman<br /> Former Chairman and CEO<br /> Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide</p> <p>"Lutchen’s insights are practical and actionable. In fact, CEOs and other executives traversing the IT minefield will find no more authoritative guide than Managing IT as a Business."<br /> –Paul Turner<br /> Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer<br /> AMS</p> <p>"Increasingly, CIOs are being asked to join the ranks of top management. In Managing IT as a Business, Mark Lutchen offers CEOs a powerful perspective on how to leverage IT as a strategic tool. For CIOs, he cogently addresses the leadership skills they need to be full and effective members of the business-strategy team."<br /> –Glen Urban<br /> Dean Emeritus and Chairman of the Center for eBusiness<br /> MIT Sloan School of Management</p>
