In the present era of the post "new economy." scores of successful companies are now tending more than ever to steer away from the old model of extreme reward by extreme-speculation. While innovation thrives today, it is focused on the fundamentals of value and high performance. Technology blueprints are concrete, proven tactical and strategic patterns, critical to directly aligning technology execution with a fundamental business vision. Within these pages, a comprehensive set of technology blueprints covers a broad spectrum of areas, from technical leadership to asset assessment and intellectual property, and from core technologies to key methodologies around risk management. Technology Blueprints stresses fundamental objectives and presents specific pathologies and "anti-patters" to demonstrate for the reader how to avoid the "swirl du jour," and insidious pitfalls that can plague even the best of companies. This book is both a narrative and a blueprint for C-Level Executives as they continue to incorporate vital technologies into their business plans, fine-tune operations and expand their technological bandwidth.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding CTO/CIO coaching resource,
By Maria T. and David L. Decker (Beverly, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Technology Blueprints: Technology Foundations for High Performance Companies (Paperback)
This book is, as far as I know, one of a kind. It presents an amazingly insightful set of patterns and anti-patterns that span the realm so near and dear to the CTO. These patterns range from organizational roles, to Architecture (with a capital "A", of course...), to development processes that are key to successful outsourcing. Viewed as a CTO/CIO coaching resource, I believe it's unique in this thesis. More importantly, it's unique in its quality. I can appreciate the breadth and depth of Dr. Butler's abstracted experiences, many (if not all) of which resonate with my own past lives. As a long-time Architect and current CTO, I am convinced that such writing could only emanate from a combination of painfully-learned lessons and a very strong intellect. Cast in the spirit of the "patterns" literature that so appeals to computer scientists, and written with a clear and subtly humorous style, I see it as must reading for all who aspire to, profess to, or currently do occupy one of the corner offices. I really wish that this book had been written years earlier, as I've personally experienced more of the pathologies than I'd care to admit. Well done!!!
