Praise for the CIO Survival Guide
"This book makes all the right assumptions about where the partnership between business and technology should be going. CIO Survival Guide is right on target: get the infrastructure right and then leverage it for strategic and competitive advantage–and make sure that you use the language of business to sell your effectiveness and vision. CIOs and technology managers that take Schubert's advice to heart will never again find themselves out in the corporate cold."
–Stephen J. Andriole, PhD
Thomas G. Labrecque Professor of Business Technology, Villanova University
Former CTO and senior vice president of technology strategy at CIGNA Corp.
"Dr. Schubert weeds through the many possible leadership priorities that challenge this as―yet―undefined executive position and its responsibilities. Simply put, organizations that hire CIOs to merely deliver profit―motivated, silver―bullet technology will not survive in the long―term; organizations must hire CIOs that first and foremost understand the business as a strategic partner and who use an organizational network of partnerships to leverage the right technology at the right time. This book guides IT professionals at all levels to become such a person, and it provides concrete ways for CEOs, CFOs, and other non―IT executives to size up their current or prospective CIOs."
