For the Local Government Tech Professional

CIO Leadership for Cities & Counties: Emerging Trends & Practices is designed to help local elected leaders, city and county managers and chief information officers (CIOs) navigate the major technology, management and policy issues they face in a constantly changing environment.

The book contains 30 chapters by 36 authors that address the transformation of the CIO role; CIO as innovator; IT governance; managing expectations; ‘green IT’, policy, security, legal issues and more.

The authors are leading local government CIOs, former CIOs and experts from the technology sector and academia. Each chapter concludes with talking points or questions to help the reader retain key material.

“Today local government CIOs are having to maintain or even increase services, while coping with budget shortfalls and reductions in the workforce. This book offers case histories and tried-and-true practices that technology executives can tailor to meet their needs,” said Alan Shark, Executive Director of Public Technology Institute (PTI) and the book’s executive editor.

CIO Leadership for Cities & Counties: Emerging Trends & Practices (314 pages, softcover) is available now on Amazon.com for $23.99+shipping (ISBN-13: 978-1439240786) at this link.
