Development Effectiveness: Strategies for IS Organizational Transition

Rating:
Summary: Practical insights about "rebooting" technical staff
Review: Information Technology organizations too often assume that they can solve productivity and effectiveness problems simply by installing new tools and mandating their use. Mr. Merlyn, et. al., offer powerful insights into why you can't reboot systems *people* as easily as you can reboot the systems they work on. This book provides theoretical/philosophical context coupled with practical advice for addressing the challeges of change management in a technology context. I highly recommend this book for CIOs and technology leaders at any level.
