Pratt’s experience as a Chief Information Officer and his Ph.D.-level academic background in psychology, this book shows how human behavior influences...

Between 55 and 75 percent of all enterprise software implementations fail. The average cost overrun is 189 percent. Only one in four ERP projects is considered successful by the organizations that paid for them. These numbers have not improved in thirty years. This is not a coincidence. It is by design. In Welcome to the Machine, digital transformation expert Eric Kimberling pulls back the curtain on the trillion-dollar ecosystem of technology vendors, system integrators, and analyst firms that profits enormously — and systematically — from your organization's failure.

David Marsh touched the console. The station poured itself into his veins. He used a power he doesn't understand to stop the thing hunting him, and it should have been a victory.

Unit Seven — the drone he thought he killed — has crawled out of the wreckage on chemical batteries and a grudge. And Jane, shattered by the fight that nearly killed them both, can no longer walk or fight. She can only think. What she's thinking ...

The Data-Driven Executive is a field guide for that wall. It is written for senior data and analytics professionals - ...
