Zero Noise Management
How Executive Leaders Build Accountable IT Without Micromanaging It
Technology can explain almost anything with enough acronyms. This book helps executive leaders understand what is happening inside IT without becoming technologists or micromanaging the people responsible for it.
Why it exists
You do not need to know everything about technology to lead IT well.
Zero Noise Management applies the accountability of SOX, the evidence discipline of GxP, the trust of military Mission Command, and the operational awareness of high-reliability organizations to everyday IT leadership.
You need to know what questions to ask, what evidence should exist, who owns the decision, and when an explanation does not add up.
