Table of ContentsReviewsA book that combines detailed technical and theoretical information, statistics and a fair degree of common-sense writing. -- Winning Business, September 2000 An innovative book that provides a glimpse into what happens when 27 customer-intensive companies try to build radically new information competencies to help them succeed in a customer-focused world. At the heart of the changeover are a handful of corporate heroes called the 'information renegades'. The role of these information masters is to acquire their competitors' best companies while preventing attacks on their own client base. There are also various groups who oppose change: info-transitionals who attempt to acquire new information skills; info-phobics whose mindset prevents them from embracing change; and information barons, who realise that their function can be accomplished at the press of a button and therefore stubbornly resist change. The book demonstrates how a company that is in charge of its information can achieve strong customer understanding coupled with financial success.
