IT Risk: Turning Business Threats into Competitive Advantage

  • Artikel

George Westerman was our guest at our IT Leadership Summit events these past months. I want to thank him for making the time to spend with all of you and the great information provided during and the conversations that came of the event. If you missed the IT Leadership Summits, bookmark the Midmarket site so that you will know when we have more in the future.

George is from MIT's Center for Information System Research and he has written a book titled "IT Risk: Turning Business Threats into Competitive Advantage".

Are you exposing your business to IT risk, and leaving profit opportunities on the table? You might be if you are managing your IT risk using more traditional approaches. IT Risk, a new book based on research conducted by MIT's Center for Information Systems Research and Gartner, Inc., helps companies focus on the most pressing risks and leverage the upside that comes with vigilance.

Traditionally, managers have grouped technology risk and funding into silos. IT Risk outlines a new model for integrated risk management, which identifies three core areas you can develop to eliminate the problems that silo strategies create. The authors also offer specific ways to make the most of your new found advantage. And because IT risk is the responsibility of all senior executives - not just CIOs - this book describes the tools and practices in language that general managers can understand and use.

You can get George's book at your favorite bookstore. Here is the link on Barnes & Noble.

A great book to add to your collection and thanks again George.
