"The Digital Playbook should be required reading for any leader with a title that starts with C, for any size organization.  I wish I could send this book to every CEO, CFO, COO, Chairman or government Secretary that I've ever worked with as a CIO.  The lesson for leaders here is that Business IS Technology now, with the goals to create competitive advantage.  The magic starts with being able to clearly articulate “what problem are we trying to solve?”  I've been asking leaders this question for literally decades when presented with “we should buy this software” from a CEO or CFO.  Steve's book does such a great job communicating why this is the question, and then understanding how to proceed, starting with business processes.  This book will be on my C-Level holiday gift list for a long time." Aaron Weis, Chief Information Officer at Department of the Navy
