Great taste, less filling
This book had a pretty impressive title and subtitle. I thought it was an ok reading but a) it was little more than regurgitated article snippets and b) there was a lot of repetition from multiple sources. On one hand maybe this is good in that it was a good synopsis of various industry rags/pundit opinions, but it left me unfilled. I expected a book with more insight and analysis, but it was more of just copies of prior written materials.
Not bad, just not nearly what the title/subtitle implied. A better name would have been "A Collection of Readings for CTO's".
a read for those in or aspiring to be in the job
There are very few books that both tackle this topic and tackle it from the perspective of someone trying to perform the role, for this reasion Marks book is an invaluable insight for those who are looking for help or guidance and do not know where to go. the style is such that the book is readable and easy to follow. it might not have the ending of one of dan Browns novels but in the world of the CTO who needs surprises like that?
A commendable initiative from a visionary
"A commendable initiative from a visionary who has consolidated global knowledge into a composite brevier not only for C-Level decision makers but also trendsetters and entrepreneurs in the knowledge industry." |
