CIO Leadership for Cities and Counties - Emerging Trends and Practices Alan R Shark

This is the updated, second edition where 85 percent of content is completely revised or new. The book takes a comprehensive look at the essential elements of CIO Leadership for cities and counties. The 30 chapter book covers leadership, strategic planning, technology practices, innovation, cyber security, cloud services, civic engagement, digital ethics, as well as human resources and the future. While a number of books have been published that target the CIO and technology in general, this book was developed exclusively to meet the needs and interests of local government officials. The book is written by leading experts and practitioners from the government and private sectors. With the broad overview of topics that the book addresses, and because it is written in a non-technical manner, the book appeals to a wide number of individuals with an interest in and responsibility for technology programs in the public sector.
