Title: Strong opinions; risky and unproven approach
Review: I've read about a dozen books on the topic of strategic outcomes for IT. The "alignment" theme with various names is common in them all.I expected this book to help me in my role as a strategic IT practices advisor.After a thorough reading the book seems naive to me. It suggests only obvious practices. When real issues are mentioned, the answer is you need a product. The book seems like a paper about the authors product.This is no case study. The book offers many stories to show a real problem exists. It doesn't give me any sense that this approach has been used before. This is my biggest complaint.I'm expected by clients to make good recommendations. I would never suggest that my clients try such an approach, with or without the product. I believe the book is all form and little substance.
