Why It's On My Shelf
This book is on my shelf because it speaks directly to the day to day reality of the CIO role. High connects strategy to operating rhythm, talent, and vendor relationships without oversimplifying the work. It is most useful when IT is expected to lead transformation but lacks a shared model for execution. I see it as a practical reference for turning intent into an operating discipline.
