The book will include separate chapters focused on CIO "case studies"-careful, detailed examinations of "All Star" IT leaders and their decision-making, with solid background on the business problem they were trying to solve and how they arrived at their decisions. The book will include candid personal reflections on those decision-making processes, and then provide analysis from a third party lens. It will be written in a narrative form to create a mystery-within-a-case-study feel and flow to the writing.
