"At the very heart of Strategic IT Governance 2.0 is the notion that there must be a fundamental balance and partnership between the business and IT teams. After nearly 40 years of working to deliver value through strategic IT, I’ve really only learned one thing for certain; When business and IT leaders are linked together in a bond of trust and joint goals, the job is pretty easy, and great things will happen."Rob Carter, Executive Vice President FedEx Information ServicesCIO and Co-President FedEx Services "Reading Phil Weinzimer’s new book Strategic IT Governance 2.0 is like taking a masters class from the top CIOs in the world. He has created an engaging and informative walk through the strategic imperative of governance driving business and IT alignment to maximize returns for people, processes, and technology. As IT continues to dominate strategic business portfolios, the timing of Phil’s book could not be better, and his emphasis on relationships and collaboration is particularly insightful."Tom MurphySenior Vice President of IT and University CIO, University of Pennsylvania "As a CIO, I’ve had the advantage of learning from Phil, and several of the CIOs he profiled in his last book. His frameworks and tools have been invaluable to my teams and me over the last several years! As we collectively move into the metaverse, Web3, and beyond the world, I do not doubt that Phil’s thinking on governance will become increasingly important.
