Today, the big obstacle to a successful business transformation within a company is neither culture, nor bureaucracy, nor even the ever-changing technology landscape. It is the relationship between the business and its IT organization, an uneasy and less than effective alliance born of misunderstandings, a hazy sense of shared mission, and nerds versus suits stereotypes. In War and Peace and IT: Business Leadership, Technology, and Success in the Digital Age, Mark Schwartz, author of A Seat at the Table: IT Leadership in the Age of Agility and The Art of Business Value, shows why and how executives and business leaders must create a shared strategy with their IT organizations to drive innovation, enhance their competitive positioning, increase revenue, and delight customers.

如今，企业内部成功进行业务转型的最大障碍既不是文化，也不是官僚主义，甚至不是不断变化的技术环境。它是企业与其It组织之间的关系，是一种因误解而产生的不稳定且不太有效的联盟，是一种模糊的共同使命感，是书呆子与西装之间的陈规定型观念。在《战争与和平与信息技术：数字时代的商业领导力、技术与成功》一书中，马克·施瓦茨（Mark Schwartz）是《餐桌旁的座位：敏捷时代的信息技术领导力与商业价值的艺术》一书的作者，他向我们展示了高管和商业领袖为什么以及如何与他们的信息技术组织建立一个共同的战略来推动创新，提高他们的竞争地位，增加收入，取悦客户。
