review:
A business book told in novel form, this one, for me, was more relevant than most.
Bill is suddenly promoted to interim CIO at his company after the previous CIO is let go. At the same time, payroll isn't running, auditors have a list of security issues, and the rollout of the company's new software seems doomed to fail. For quite a few chapters, things go from bad to worse as Bill scrambles to figure out how to fix things, but in true rags-to-riches fashion, everything gets turned around. Although that portion of the story seems a little too neatly wrapped up, the lessons along the way are the true heart of this book. How IT should be viewing their operations like a manufacturing production flow, figuring out where the bottlenecks are to increase workflow.
So much of what I do could rely more on a glance at the larger picture, so this book was a breath of fresh air.
