Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Interesting but ...
Finding the style the book is written a bit hard to engage. The methodology is great, but it bogs down at times comapared to others. Some of my favourite titles of late have been from Harvard Business School and these seem easier to digest in quick spurts (time to read is limited).

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Easy Reading
I have not worked completely through this book, but have found it to be very readible with sound information. Everything does not apply to my situation (very small organization), but the concepts are clear.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Proven approach and a detailed roadmap
This book, like all of Ms. Cassidy's work, is straightforward, to the point and reads like a blueprint for success. In particular, she frames the objectives (Where are we? Where do we need to be?

On the surface this appears to be common sense, but the devil is in the details, and she provides the details. That is what makes this book ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The glass is half full
Half of the book deals with strategic planning which is quite helpful. Half the book deals with how to acquire an application which is not.
