When I wrote Technology Business Management: The Four Value Conversations CIOs Must Have with Their Businesses, I was trying to solve a problem of standing. CIOs were funded like a cost center, questioned like a cost center, and consulted like a cost center. They were asked what things cost and almost never asked what things were worth. The book came out of my work with the TBM Council, a CIO-led professional association that developed standards and best practices for managing the cost, consumption, and value of IT.
