FYI, IT Guy

by Warwick Kingsley

In most organisations there is a gulf between business activity and IT concerns. Business managers tend to distance themselves from the seemingly complex and mysterious activities of their IT staff, while many IT professionals lack basic business and management skills and are often unable to relate their technical know-how to the running of a modern business. But, with our increased reliance on computers, IT is now at the forefront of the business world.

FYI, IT Guy is aimed both at IT professionals and at anyone in need of an enlightening guide to the business and people aspects of IT. This is not a mechanical textbook full of technical information. Instead, FYI, IT Guy distills what is most relevant and practical, providing straightforward lessons for IT managers, consultants and professionals in today’s business world.
