Praise for The Strategy Gap "With a better handle on the financial pulse of the business, enterprises will be better able to meet the Street#146;s expectations of financial transparency and corporate accountability. The writers do a masterful job of getting readers to this point of awareness, and further display their insight by explaining how corporate performance management (CPM) and finance are essentially #145;joined at the hip#146; in concept and execution. This interdependence must be embodied in methodology and technology for CPM to work. Chapter ten (What Lies Ahead) is a mustread for Clevel executives--and their IT counterparts--that want to quickly catch up on some of the new technologies shaping CPM and finance." --Alan Y. C. Yong Director, Financial Analytics Aberdeen Group "This book is a mustread for all students of business, from college students to CEOs. The authors have an uncanny ability to create excitement on topics that have been a part of business vocabulary for a long time.

Without doubt, this book will also affect the thinking of software innovators who see opportunities for a new generation of software to support the book#146;s concepts and theories." --Dr. G. R. Wagner Distinguished Professor Peter Kiewit Institute University of Nebraska "The Strategy Gap provides a pragmatic insight into where the barriers to execution of a corporate strategy are. Backed by excellent examples, we#146;re shown not just #145;here#146;s what you should do#146; but also #145;here#146;s how to do it.#146; The book helps make the black art of turning strategy into tactics a clearer process that is more accessible to those who need it. The Strategy Gap is almost a handbook of how to take strategic decisions and support their execution with the help of information technology.

" --Rick Crandall Chairman Giga Information Group "This book authoritatively describes the disconnect between many companies#146; strategic planning efforts and the successful implementation of the plans. It combines academic rigor and practical #145;how to.#146; It brings strategists#146; and technologists#146; knowledge together in a very insightful, readable, and useful book." --Hugh Watson C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry Chair of Business Administration Terry College of Business, University of Georgia.
