About this listen
Agile, Lean, and DevOps approaches are radical game changers, providing a fundamentally different way to think about how IT fits into the enterprise, how IT leaders lead, and how IT can harness technology to accomplish the objectives of the enterprise. But honest and open conversations are not taking place between management and Agile delivery teams.
In A Seat at the Table, CIO Mark Schwartz explores the role of IT leadership as it is now and opens the door to reveal IT leadership as it should be - an integral part of the value creation engine. With wit and easy style, Schwartz reveals that the only way to become an Agile IT leader is to be courageous - to throw off the attitude and assumptions that have kept CIOs from taking their rightful seat at the table. CIOs, step on up, your seat at the table is waiting for you.

For senior IT leaders when the business isn't IT
From the relationship of IT and the business/in the business to agile, DevOps, shadow IT, build Vs buy.
Probably the most relevant and inspiring book I've heard this year.

Essential reading.
One of the best books I've read. The delicate art of bureaucracy was good but this was more useful. I have bought copies for all IT leaders I believe need to read it.

Modern view of IT
In a world where SME companies can have a ‘varied’ approach and methodology to IT processes and structure, this book gives some great insights to the trials and tribulations to It management.
Book brings together arguments and view points that can have numerous benefits for the business. A pleasant read that’s helped focus IT on VALUE

Up there with Lean Enterprise
This is a really good interpretation of what Agile and Lean mean for business and in particular CIO's.
You might find it contraversial or I hope thought provoking, a lot of our current systems are about trying to control and constrain IT as if it were a 3rd party and miss the benefits of fully embracing it and using it to the benefit of the customer and business.

Inspiring & fun to listen to
This read (listen) pushed me to question the so called collective IT beliefs (governance, waterfall...). It's a nice combination of questioning, disruption and vision. Its is also quite pragmatic and applicable. The narration is light and at times funny. Ultimately has inspired me to rework my vision at work. I want to go out and buy it for all my team....

Great viewpoint
To have a CIO's viewpoint with an agile mindset has been very interesting and I've taken away many ideas from this book.

Leadership Gold
Mark Schwartz is a genius....
He spills out wisdom that cuts over multiple ranks & across various functions of an enterprise for the suffering CIO that wants to be recognised. In the end, it turns out the CIO is the HERO of the enterprise after all.
The narrator's voice is an easy listening GEM
