Welcome to the twelfth issue of Computing Business, the monthly magazine for IT leaders.
Computing Business is designed for senior executives at the forefront of technology-enabled change in UK companies and the public sector.
Chief information officers are increasingly expected to develop the business, technology, leadership and personal skills needed to make an effective contribution to decision-making in the boardroom. Computing Business aims to help its readers take that step.
The magazine brings together an exclusive community of the UK’s 35,000 most senior IT executives to examine the personal, organisational and management issues that affect their ability to inspire IT-enabled change.
You can access all the articles from issue 11 below. We welcome your feedback on the new publication, this web site or any of the features from the magazine - email us at feedback@computingbusiness.co.uk or post your thoughts using the reader comment box at the end of this page.
