Product Description
Harwell Thrasher is an author, strategist and former IT executive who focuses on the human side of Information Technology (which is where things usually go wrong). Harwell provides a unique perspective on the difficult problems confronting an IT organization. His non-technical explanations of technology make it apparent that IT is no different from any other organization staffed by humans - it just uses more expensive tools.
Harwell sees magic - an unreasonable expectation of illogical results - as the primary cause of miscommunication between business and IT. Harwell has written a newsletter for CIO's since 2003, and in 2009 that newsletter became a blog. In 2007 Harwell published his first book, "Boiling the IT Frog: How to Make Your Business Information Technology Wildly Successful Without Having to Learn Anything Technical" (available on Kindle), which gives business people advice on how to improve the effectiveness of their IT organizations.
Kindle blogs are fully downloaded onto your Kindle so you can read them even when you're not wirelessly connected. And unlike RSS readers which often only provide headlines, blogs on Kindle give you full text content and images, and are updated wirelessly throughout the day.
