The Transformational CIO: Leadership and Innovation Strategies for IT Executives in a Rapidly Changing World

Customer Reviews:

Rock-solid snapshot of today's IT challenges, resources, & opportunities

By Carolyn A. Monaco - March 3, 2011

Highly recommended, with enthusiasm. If you are the CIO of a growing enterprise, or an emerging leader in IT, this book will be more than extremely helpful. In fact, it might even be indispensable. Hunter Muller deals with critical IT management issues including the cloud, virtualization, outsourcing, in-sourcing, talent management, contract management, leadership and vision. The interviews with CIOs from so many top companies alone make this book worth buying. Muller really highlights how the changing role of technology has put the CIO front and center in the modern global corporation. This book captures the moment we're all in, and accurately presents the multiple challenges facing senior technology executives in today's hyper-fast economy. No question that The Transformational CIO is necessary.

A must read for all C-levels!

By Allan J Sommer - May 23, 2011

Hunter Muller's "The Transformational CIO" hits the ball out of the park in so many ways. The book takes the reader through a journey of how CIOs have responded to a drastically changing market place. The bottom line in reading this book is that CIOs no longer can afford to be "order takers" from business stakeholders. The Transformation CIO is characterized as a business leader who understands how technology can enable business value.

The book outlines the contrasts between demand driven technology and that of utility driven technology operations. As the cloud has introduced us to numerous alternatives to hosting and operating traditional technology assets, CIOs are provided the opportunity to properly engage with the business for true value realization.

Finally, Hunter Muller includes citations from highly successful CIOs who clearly are talking from life experiences versus from an academic viewpoint. This adds integrity to the book and to the concept of the... read more

Strategy and Thought Leadership for CIOs

By Mike Barlow - March 3, 2011

"The Transformational CIO" is more than just a great book for top executives. It's a field manual for success in the rough and tumble world of modern IT management. Let's speak plainly: Innovation drives business. Technology drives innovation. Successful CIOs drive technology. The CIO must be a transformational leader to provide the business with the right mix of relevant technologies.

In today's wild economy, however, markets change quickly, and that means that the technology has to change quickly to keep pace. So the modern CIO has to stay ahead of both curves -- the business curve and the technology curve -- to stay relevant.

Hunter Muller's book presents a new model for CIO management strategy. The old CIO management model was: "Wait until the business asks me to do it." The new model is: "I have to figure out what the business needs before the business even know that it needs it." In other words, the CIO has to the leader, not the order taker.
