Praise for Breakthrough IT: Supercharging Organizational Value Through Technology "As business changes, so, too, does the role of the CIO and the overall IT organization. In Breakthrough IT , Patrick Gray provides a necessary roadmap for shifting IT from an operational entity that simply manages technology, to a powerhouse that combines strategy and technology to deliver measurable business results and long-term value." Mark D. Lutchen, Former global CIO, PricewaterhouseCoopers and author of the bestselling book Managing IT as a Business " Breakthrough IT drives home how to gain tangible business value from IT resources. By providing remarkably valuable insights and guidance for serious executives, Patrick Gray has created a gem of a book containing a treasury rich with compelling ideas and examples." Andrew Boynton, Dean of the Carroll School of Management at Boston College and former professor of strategy and program director of the Executive MBA Program at IMD, Europe's leading business school Today's business climate is one of global unprecedented change, be it in response to the new global playing field, the advent of disruptive technologies, or a changing labor market. How can you ensure your IT spending is actually delivering value to your company? Pragmatic and insightful, Breakthrough IT is the first book to show corporations how to move onto the next step in the evolution of their corporate IT function and look beyond the technologies that have been the focus of the IT industry.

It has robust content and the chapter material is well-conceived and logically sequenced. Breakthrough IT is a valuable read that should be kept handy." ( New Jersey CPA , May/June 2008) "examines what it means to be living in an era of corporate information technology and the step-by-step methodology required to create a value-based IT organization." ( Bookviews.com , February 2008) "IT today is being squeezed by a "Triple Threat" Gray does a nice job of describing." ( Techrevu.com ; 11/2/07)
