Story4.5 out of 5 stars 69
Remember the '70s? Way back then, IT was a mainframe that sat in some room and only a few people had a key. Flash forward a decade, and IT was a limited set of systems irrelevant to the vast majority of employees and customers. But today, all of the sudden, technology belongs to everyone. Because of the suddenness of this revolution in technology adoption, most IT organizations have not had enough time to evolve into a "comfortable integration" with the rest of the company.

Struggled to finish. Largely forgettable and generic"best practice" advice from his experience with three letter title. The author came off sounding arrogant.
