Do you really understand what business value is? Information technology can and should deliver business value. But the Agile literature has paid scant attention to what business value means―and how to know whether or not you are delivering it. This problem becomes ever more critical as you push value delivery toward autonomous teams and away from requirements “tossed over the wall” by business stakeholders. An empowered team needs to understand its goal! 
Playful and thought-provoking, The Art of Business Value explores what business value means, why it matters, and how it should affect your software development and delivery practices. More than any other IT delivery approach, DevOps (and Agile thinking in general) makes business value a central concern. This book examines the role of business value in software and makes a compelling case for why a clear understanding of business value will change the way you deliver software. 
This book will make you think deeply about not only what it means to deliver value but also the relationship of the IT organization to the rest of the enterprise. It will give you the language to discuss value with the business, methods to cut through bureaucracy, and strategies for incorporating Agile teams and culture into the enterprise. Most of all, this book will startle you into new ways of thinking about the cutting-edge of Agile practice and where it may lead.

In A Seat at the Table, CIO Mark Schwartz explores the role of IT leadership as it is now and opens the door to reveal IT leadership as it should be―an integral part of the value creation engine. With an easy style, Schwartz reveals that the only way to become an Agile IT leader is to be courageous―to throw off the attitude and assumptions that have kept CIOs from taking their rightful seat at the table. CIOs, step on up, your seat at the table is waiting for you.

A Seat at the Table: IT Leadership in the Age of Agility

The Business-IT Wall Must Come Down
 With A Seat at the Table, thought leader Mark Schwartz pulled out a chair for CIOs at the C-suite table. Now Mark brings his unique perspective and experience to business leaders looking to lead their company into the digital age by harnessing the expertise and innovation that is already under their roof: IT. 
 In the war for business supremacy, Schwartz shows we must throw out the old management models and stereotypes that pit suits against nerds. Instead, business leaders of today can foster a space of collaboration and shared mission, a space that puts technologists and business people on the same team. 
 For business leaders looking to unlock their enterprise's digital transformation, War and Peace and IT provides clear context and strategies. Schwartz demystifies the role IT plays in the modern enterprise, allowing business leaders to create new strategies for the new digital battleground. 
 It is time to change not only the enterprise's relationship with technology, but its relationship with technologists. To accelerate, enterprises must bring technology to the heart of their work, for just as technology is causing this disruption, it is technology that provides the solution. Unlike Napoleon, it is time for business leaders to come down from the hill atop the Battle of Borodino and enter the fray with the technologists, for that is where the war will be won or lost.

War and Peace and IT

AI and robots-when thinking about the ethical problems of technology and businesses in a digital age, these are the types of problems most people nod about and contemplate. This book is not about those. Because AI isn't where the true ethical quandary resides-not to say that AI isn't an ethical quandary, it is. It's just not the one businesses really need to get a jump on before we all explode in a fiery ball of ethicsagedan. No, it's not AI. It's... bureaucracy. Yes, bureaucracy. And the ethics of bureaucracy are no longer working in the twenty-first-century post-COVID-19 world, and businesses are suffering. But there is an ethical model that can guide leaders to ethically sound business, it's an ethics that centers on people-which has a nice side benefit of keeping a business competitive in the marketplace, too. This book isn't a tomb of indigestible, philosophizing, it's wry and full of the fun only Mark Schwartz can bring. Schwartz guides readers through the current and historical ethical landscape-both of business and of the world in which it operates. With humor and keen insight, he explains why immediate change guided by ethics, is the only realistic option for business in the twenty-first century. Throughout the book, Schwartz covers everything from values, stakeholder engagement, employees, supply chain, environment, community, customers, and marketing-and even AI, sustainability, and robots. By the end of the book, business leaders will rethink what it takes to be an ethical organization and will have gained the understanding that a change on ethics is not only desirable but essential.
