Agile, Lean, and DevOps approaches are radical game changers, providing a fundamentally different way to think about how IT fits into the enterprise, how IT leaders lead, and how IT can harness technology to accomplish the objectives of the enterprise. But honest and open conversations are not taking place between management and Agile delivery teams.

In A Seat at the Table, CIO Mark Schwartz explores the role of IT leadership as it is now and opens the door to reveal IT leadership as it should bean integral part of the value creation engine. With an easy style, Schwartz reveals that the only way to become an Agile IT leader is to be courageousto throw off the attitude and assumptions that have kept CIOs from taking their rightful seat at the table. CIOs, step on up, your seat at the table is waiting for you.

About Mark Schwartz

Mark Schwartz is an iconoclastic CIO and a playful crafter of ideas an inveterate purveyor of lucubratory prose. He has been an IT leader in organizations small and large public private and nonprofit. As an Enterprise Strategist for Amazon Web Services he uses his extensive CIO wisdom to advise the world's largest companies on the obvious: time to move to the cloud guys. As the CIO of US Citizenship and Immigration Services he provoked the federal government into adopting Agile and DevOps practices. He is pretty sure that when he was the CIO of Intrax Cultural Exchange he was the first person ever to use business intelligence and supply chain analytics to place au pairs with the right host families. Mark speaks frequently on innovation change leadership bureaucratic implications of DevOps and using Agile practices in low-trust environments. With a BS in computer science from Yale a master's in philosophy from Yale and an MBA from Wharton Mark is either an expert on the business value of IT or just confused and much poorer.Mark is the author of The Art of Business Value which he is proud to report has been labeled by his detractors The Ecclesiastes of Product Management and Apocryphal. The book takes readers on a journey through the meaning of bureaucracy the nature of cultural change and the return on investment of an MBA degree on the way to solving the great mystery what exactly do we mean by business value and how should that affect the way we practice IT? He promises that A Seat at the Table is more canonical and less apocryphal.Mark is the winner of a Computerworld Premier 100 award an Amazon Elite 100 award a Federal Computer Week Fed 100 award and a CIO Magazine CIO 100 award which strongly suggests that there are less than 99 other authors you could better spend time reading.
