Business/IT Alignment: Transformational Books

From today’s CIO Insight column: “Five Insightful Transformation Books”
compiled by Brian Watson :

Sustained Innovation: Converging Business and Technology to Achieve Enduring Performance, by Faisal Hoque and Terry Kirkpatrick

Silos, Politics & Turf Wars: A Leadership Fable About Destroying the Barriers that Turn Colleagues into Competitors, by Patrick Lencioni

Winning the 3-Legged Race: When Business and Technology Run Together, by Faisal Hoque et al

Many Unhappy Returns: One Man’s Quest to Turn Around the Most Unpopular Organization in America, by Charles Rossotti

For anyone interested in truly aligning IT with the business, and willing to entertain the transformation that that involves,
I would add a few of my own to this list, including:

- The Last Word on Power, by Tracy Goss - business transformation begins with self transformation
- What the CEO wants you to know - business/IT alignment begins with knowing what the business needs
- Leading the Revolution, by Gary Hamel
- The Visionary’s Handbook, by Watts Wacker
- The Art of Possibility, by Ben Zander
