This book revolves into the importance of thinking strategically and having a vision for your IT infrastructure in your company.Each concept starts with a chart or graph from which the author elaborates on the explanation. This way, you'll findthe contents easy to follow and direct to the point.Mr. Ireland has done an outstanding job and I've had a blast reading the whole book. You can really tell how passionatehe is with this topic since the beginning. And the best of all is he supports everything with real life experiences fromhis career. Believe me, he really knows his trade and that's something you'll notice right away.The information provided is so easy to miss without guidance and so capital to your success that makes getting a copy of"How to Write A Great Information Technology Strategic Plan -- And Thrill Your CEO" a no brainer decision.I'm sure I'll have this book nearby me to apply the powerful ideas that I've learned, including:* Where I am as a company or individual and where I need to be.* How to work with the CEO for optimal results.* Focusing on one of the three strengths all individuals have and are needed in an organization.* The fatal mistake that must be avoided when leading an IT team.* Good leadership practices.* The ability to plan IT requirements to add value to your business.* And much more...I hope this review will help you if you are a technical strategist.
