''The ideas are pure gold. This book should help to put readers back in command of their IT strategies. It will also be of some help to IT professionals who sell in the boardroom or who are required to brief the board on IT related issues.''
*Julie Garland McLellan, author of âAll Above Board: Great Governance for the Government Sectorâ
''Waltzing with the Elephant! This evocative phrase is the title of the first book that I have seen that explains what IT governance is, why it matters, who is responsible and how you can pragmatically implement appropriate Technology for Information Technology governance. The book is refreshingly free from jargon and is directly applicable and valuable to any organisation that uses or is impacted by information technology whether they are multi-national companies with hundreds of thousands of staff, government departments, small businesses, or community groups staffed by a few committed volunteers.''
*Keith Frampton, Senior Research Associate at RMIT University and Principal Consultant with The Marlo Group
âWaltzing with the Elephantâ is a great and wonderful read!! Finally, the models and frameworks: review, consider, contemplate, understand and enjoy each of these. They are each rich in perspective and represent years of careful and considered thought. Whilst they frame thoughts for the uninitiated, they are welcome reading and fill my heart with joy! Recommended reading for academics, students of technology, all IT Professionals and âCâ role leaders and company directors.''
*Fiona Balfour, was former Chief Information Officer for Qantas Airways and Telstra Corporation and was previously a Director of SITA SC (Geneva).
