Think Tank: Brain Food for IT Executives
News Story by Mitch Betts

The book covers a lot of other ground, from IT governance to staffing. But it's the no-nonsense statements that I like best. On the subject of IT standardization, for example, Andriole says variation is your enemy and "non-standardization is just plain stupid." As for return on investment and total cost of ownership metrics, he says that they're great, but "you cannot build a business with these hammers." Andriole adds that "obsessive-compulsive TCO/ROI behavior is as unhealthy as any obsessive-compulsive behavior." And to answer Nicholas G. Carr's question as to whether IT matters, the author replies: "try telling a CEO that a botched $100 million ERP system doesn't matter." - Mitch Betts for Computerworld
