Mark Schwartz’s A Seat At The Table will be one of the most important books on technology and business leadership of our generation.

—Gene Kim, co-author The Phoenix Project and The DevOps Handbook

We’d like to offer you an early glimpse of our latest book A Seat at the Table: IT Leadership in the Age of Agility by Mark Schwartz.

A Seat at the Table A Seat at the Table is a must-read for IT managers and CIOs who are looking to integrate IT practices as a dynamic actor for their business, which in today’s digital world is needed more than ever before.

Using humor and a deep knowledge of what it takes to get such a seat, Schwartz shows readers how to define the new role of IT within businesses, where CIOs fit within the bigger picture of a business organization, and how to get C-level leadership to enroll in a new vision for IT leadership.

Or as Schwartz so aptly puts it, “It’s not enough to say that the CIO is the geek who wears the suit, IT leaders must, now more than ever, take a seat at the table.”

This affects every business leader and, of course, every technology leader.

—Gene Kim, co-author The Phoenix Project and The DevOps Handbook
