Avoiding Data Scandals in Your Business

January 16, 2012 in Author of Book, Book Review, Managment, New Thinking

When I chatted with Brian Anderson one of the writers of this book I was a little worried that I would be over my head. The thought of talking about online and server security had me a little worried. However it all turned out great because Brian and the book really help people understand what’s at risk and how to manage that risk in a clear and well organized way.

This is a great book for business owners that have an IT department (who doesn’t these days) or the manager of an IT department.

Get Ready for Change Your Concept of Work

November 22, 2011 in Book Review, General Business, Managment, New Thinking

I have the opportunity to chat with Douglas Craver again and he does not disappoint. Through our talk I discover some of the teachings in this great book. A straight shooting style of book with a lot of great wisdom throughout the book. Find out how “work as we know it” is changing and needs to change even more. Though the books authors are deeply involled in the highly technical coding industry it does not read as a highly technical jagged. As Douglas Says, “They just get to the point”.
