Texas has a large population who has lived on both sides of the border and created a folkloric mix that makes Texas unique. Both Sides of the Border gets its name from its emphasis on recently researched Tex-Mex folklore. But we recognize that Texas has other borders besides the Rio Grande. We use that title with the folklorist's knowledge that all of this state's songs, tales, and traditions have lived and prospered on the other sides of Texas borders at one time or another before they crossed the rivers and became "ours.".

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book explores a set of concepts that are fundamental for successful leadership of an Information Technology (IT) business. The ideas and concepts explored here have emerged from a ten-year collaboration between the authors in creating professional development programs to support and enhance the remarkable success of a particular IT company - the Information Systems (I/S) Division of BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. However, the book is about more than one company's success. Anyone facing the challenge of leading an IT company, an IT unit, or IT projects of most any size will find ideas and concepts here that resonate with their experiences and that will provoke them to think in new and more productive ways about the work they do. This book is the third of a three-book series on the art and science of managing an IT company. In the first book of the series, Picasso on a Schedule, a unique IT organizational structure called the Hierarchical Matrix was described and a framework of repeatable processes for its Matrix component was defined. The Matrix component of the structure focuses on producing the quality technical work that IT clients expect and demand. The Hierarchy component of the structure focuses on managing the resources necessary for the production of that work. In the second book of the series, Managing Picasso, the study of the Hierarchical Matrix was extended with a description of a framework of repeatable processes for the Hierarchy (Management) component of the structure. The Hierarchy's mission has two major features. First it must enable the IT organization's current success by creating and managing a technical workforce that consistently produces excellent client value. Second, it must ensure that the organization remains positioned for long-term success. To accomplish this two-fold mission, those in the Hierarchy must have the technical competence to deal with the creative nature of IT work, and the business competence to employ the best-practices under which successful non-IT businesses operate. Managing Picasso is an accessible reference guide to a framework of repeatable IT management processes that enable the accomplishment of this mission. The current book, Leading Picasso, completes the study of the Hierarchical Matrix with a focus on the leadership concepts necessary to enable both the Hierarchy and the Matrix components to be successful in carrying out their respective responsibilities. Both formal and informal leadership are required for this success, and Leading Picasso addresses both types of leadership, offering a conceptual leadership framework and practical techniques for applying this framework to the work of leadership. Just as is true within the day-to-day work of both the Hierarchy and the Matrix, leadership involves a delicate blend of art and science. Indeed, leadership depends heavily on applying the arts of intuition, vision, courage, and steadfastness in setting direction, then guiding and inspiring other people to accomplish a desired result through influence. This book explores how leaders can accomplish this by employing a set of skills and behaviors that constitute the strengths that actually define a Leader and enable the effective employment of Culture and Vision necessary to successfully adapt their organization for success in changing circumstances.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book explores a set of concepts that are fundamental for the management of Information Technology (IT) as a successful business. The ideas and concepts explored here have emerged from a ten-year collaboration between the authors in creating professional development programs to support and enhance the remarkable success of a particular IT company - the Information Systems (I/S) Division of BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. However, the book is about more than one company's success. Anyone facing the challenge of managing an IT company, an IT unit, or IT projects of most any size will find ideas and concepts here that resonate with their experiences and that will provoke them to think in new and more productive ways about the work they do. The ideas are presented in four major parts. In the first part, the fundamental dual nature of software as both an art and science is described, and important implications and challenges that this duality presents for the management of IT are considered. The Information Technology Organizational System Design model (the IT-OSD model) is then introduced as a decision-making framework for implementing an evolutionary approach for the management of an IT organization in the face of these challenges. In the second part, a client-centric philosophy that leads to the development and nurturing of strategic client partnerships is introduced. Such strategic client relationships and a well-designed and well-managed system architecture provide the two cornerstones giving the IT organization the capability and flexibility to consistently deliver to its clients the value that supports their own competitive positions. In the third part, a unique organizational structure, called the Hierarchical Matrix, is introduced and explained. This structure is built on the nine fundamental processes that every IT organization must understand and utilize. Its crucial advantage is that it enables the IT organization to effectively and efficiently synthesize and leverage its processes and its technical and human resources to produce outcomes that make the organization successful. In the fourth and final part, an effective process for managing and encouraging adaptive change is presented as well as an approach that will enhance the IT organization's ability to become and remain a learning organization.
