This book was released on 2023-12-27 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by CIO.com as one of the “Best books for CIOs on Business Innovation and Leadership”, The CTO ¦ CIO Bible is for you if you’re ambitious, in a hurry, and want to see the essence of being a successful CTO CIO organised as super-concise, digital-friendly, bite-sized, chunks of actionable insight. For people that appreciate deeper context, narrative and real-world examples though The CTO CIO Bible has been completely revised, updated and expanded to create The CTO CIO Bible 3X. The CTO CIO Bible 3X focuses on how to Build, Run and Change Tech Platforms, Teams and Careers without, I hope, losing The CTO CIO Bible’s actionable insight density, or diluting the much-liked approach of augmenting the narrative flow with top-tips, checklists, anecdotes, jokes, red flags, book recommendations, case studies and quotes from a number of successful leaders. Hopefully there is at least one "a ha" moment on each page of The CTO CIO Bible 3X, so whether you are hoping to get promoted to CTO CIO one day, are a CTO CIO looking for a quick self or project health-check, or are just a curious non-technical leader wanting to improve their understanding of the CTO CIO challenges and opportunities then The CTO ¦ CIO Bible 3X is here to help you achieve your goals. In this CTO CIO Bible 3X we'll look at "Doing The Right Thing" and then look at "Doing Things Right". We’ll start with how to Build a Tech Platform and Team, moving on to how to Run a Tech Platform and Team, and then look at how to Change a Tech Platform and Team. We’ll finish by taking an in depth look at how to Build a CTO CIO Career and Personal Brand before looking at how to Run and Change a CTO CIO Career and Personal Brand. To me leadership is about one thing...change, so we will describe in detail what I call the Mission Objectives Strategies and Tactics (MOST) framework to help you create, communicate and execute your change initiatives and agendas. As well as looking how to Build, Run and Change Tech Platforms, Teams and Careers I'll also describe some potential "game changers" you will want to consider, look at turning around an under-performing team, discuss getting promoted to CTO CIO, painfully revisit the biggest mistakes in my career, look at growth hacking, reflect on the characteristics of a successful leader and link to an online hub containing templates, examples and plans that you may want to utilise and adapt. A lot of the concepts discussed in this book apply equally to any leadership role in terms of the need to deliver business impact via your team and the tools available to you, but leading a technology team does also present some specific challenges and opportunities that will be discussed. In this book we’ll look at how to Build, Run and Change Tech Platforms, Teams and Careers, but I won’t be attempting to describe in depth everything that it is possible to know about all of those subjects. Not only would a book attempting to do that need to be unfeasibly large, by the time it was written it would almost certainly be out-of-date. Instead of reheating common practice and standard approaches, what I will focus on is “gotchas”, traps for the unwary, hacks, and interesting/unusual tools, techniques and approaches that current and future Tech Leaders might want to consider. French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal “I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.” Also new for The CTO CIO Bible 3X is the creation of an online knowledge hub containing links to templates, brilliant presentations, blog posts or whatever on the subjects that are being discussed.
