Show Me the Money

By James Downey - November 20, 2010

Best book on the topic

By Kenneth Gonzalez "kengon" - May 10, 2008

Their model for constructing ROI scenarios is practical and easy to work with. Anyone that needs to get real work done would be well served by using these methods.

Thought Provoking!
