Computing Business - Issue 16

This month's Computing Business looks at the challenges of change management and bringing through a successful transformation project. How do you manage the people - and how do you manage the technology?

Written by Mark Samuels

Welcome to the sixteenth 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.
