IT People:Doing More With Less - Reviews

"The movement from islands of IT to a Service Oriented Architecture requires skills and talent. Unfortunately, the pending baby boomer retirement may cause the transition to slow as the quantity and quality of IT resources diminishes. This book put the IT professional back at the top of the list by addressing the critical issues facing IT personnel and IT Management. How do we do more with less IT people? The answers are structure and consideration of the IT personnel in your organization. I enjoyed reading the book and have already applied many of the recommendations in my consulting business."

"This book does what others (and the title) have mentioned, it addresses the people factor that is so often overlooked. Not only does it lay out the Disciplines which contribute to successful, predictable IT management, it gives you a framework to use, almost a checklist of sorts. It is an excellent reference and tool. Indispensible! "

"A must have in classrooms, all of it it's just an opening to a new dimension of knowledge, thanks to the authors and my firend Javy for this book. KEEP IT UP. "

"I've read all the books about IT and could not make a sense out of it! I'm a veteran and going to school to finish some stuff I left behind and after reading this book I will recomend it to some of my fellow students at RCC
Keep up the good IT work guys."

"There are helpful hints throughout this book. The chapter on discipline mentoring especially caught my attention. Although it sounded unusual at first, it's an excellent method to get more quality time out of staff. There is a definite need to get more productivity from staff at the end of the day. This will help them manage their life more efficiently and all of us achieve our goals."

"I've attended many senior-level presentations where the content provided (in many cases) focuses on People, Processes, and Technology. I've also listened to many executives/professionals talk about the importance of resolving the people issues in IT but unfortunately the people aspect is never really thoroughly addressed. Most of the discussion points focus on skills development and nothing more.
Finally there's a book that focuses solely on resolving many of the people issues in IT. Doing More With Less hits the mark. The authors were very through in providing solutions to some very sensitive issues. I've implemented some of the recommendations in the book and in a few weeks have seen a significant difference in several of my key employees. Excellent book!"

"As an IT professional I discovered that people issues are generally on top of my list. A company that does not resolve these issues first and foremost, whether they have the best technology or the ultimate processes, will see their vision crumble. Because IT people issues generally, repeatedly interfere with an organization's ability to work effectively, efficiently and cohesively as 1.
Rarely have I seen companies take these issues seriously. They are swept under the rug sort of speak. I am impressed to find these authors addressing a sensitive topic and providing solutions. I highly recommend this book."
