Peter High offers a principles-based framework for transforming IT from back-office support into a strategic business enabler. Drawing on interviews with high-profile CIOs and C-suite leaders, he outlines five core principles:
Recruit, train, and retain top IT talent
Build and maintain a robust, reliable infrastructure
Manage IT projects and portfolios effectively
Foster partnerships within IT and across the business
Cultivate collaborative relationships with external vendors
Each principle comes with practical sub-principles and metrics, along with real-world case examples from Fortune 500 companies. Aimed at CIOs, IT leaders, and business executives, the book emphasizes the alignment of IT strategy with overall business objectives. It was named one of the top IT‑business books of 2009 by CIO Insight.
