"As a newly appointed IT Manager, I find your IT Manager Development Series to be invaluable to my success. The benefits are yielding immediate respect from my superiors and subordinates as someone who knows what he is doing and as a manager that has generated plans that help accomplish the mission of the organization. The units on business plan, strategic planning, and the role of the CIO are excellent and gave me a top down view of the IT organization and how it communicates and functions as a business unit. Cannot praise your body of work enough. Great job Mike. "
