Rethinking Information Technology Asset Management, Second Edition

Rethinking Information Technology Asset Management, Second Edition

$31.99

Information Technology Asset Management (ITAM) and Software Asset Management (SAM) is hard to get right. Annual IT budget forecasts rarely hold. Costs spiral out of control. And the only answer seems to be to spend more money on another tool and hope for the best.

Why? Because traditional approaches to ITAM overlook the root causes:

  • Untrustworthy data from the CMDB or Asset MDR
  • Unplanned version upgrades or platform refreshes
  • Shadow IT: unapproved software, SaaS, or cloud computing subscriptions
  • Surprise software license audit penalties
  • And on, and on, and on

Sound familiar?

Rethinking Information Technology Asset Management became an Amazon bestseller for delivering real-world solutions to these exact problems.

This second edition expands on The Pragmatic ITAM Method, first introduced in 2021. New chapters explore the impacts of AI (generative and agentic) and how to optimize workflows across ITAM, Human Resources, and Cybersecurity. You’ll learn how to build trustworthy asset data, regain control of your IT budgets, and reduce risk—permanently.

Who This Book Is For:

  • CIOs, CTOs, and IT Leaders frustrated with blown budgets and audit penalties
  • ITAM and SAM professionals who want proven, field-tested practices without the steep learning curve
  • Anyone ready to stop hearing “that’s just the way it is” and start making IT asset management work

Megaproject Development and Decision Making: Strategies for Successful Projects and Investments

Megaproject Development and Decision Making: Strategies for Successful Projects and Investments

$41.99

Why do so many billion-dollar megaprojects fail, and how can leaders prevent it?

Megaproject Development and Decision Making provides the answers. Drawing on decades of global leadership across energy, mining, refining, and infrastructure, Akin Oni reveals that the destiny of megaprojects is shaped not in execution, but long before, during development, evaluation, governance, and decision-making.

This book dismantles the myths that delays, cost overruns, and underperformance are inevitable. Instead, it shows how weak evaluations, poor risk discipline, and fragmented stakeholder alignment doom projects before approval. With clarity and conviction, Oni equips leaders with the tools and foresight to change the narrative.

Inside, readers will discover:

  • How to evaluate megaprojects effectively and make disciplined investment choices.
  • Strategic decision-making frameworks for capital projects.
  • Proven risk management approaches to mitigate failure triggers, early.
  • Best practices in project governance and accountability.
  • How to embed ethics, sustainability, and long-term value into delivery.

Far more than a technical manual, this is a call to action. Megaprojects are not just technical or financial undertakings; they are ethical commitments, vehicles for long-term value, and legacies that shape economies and societies.

Whether you are a project manager, executive, or investor, this book challenges you to lead differently, anticipate wisely, decide boldly, and deliver results that endure.

The Age of Global Change: Culture, Power, and Identity

The Age of Global Change: Culture, Power, and Identity

$34.99

The Age of Global Change provides an in-depth examination of the major forces reshaping societies in the twenty-first century, by referring to themes of demography, globalization, cultural change, inequality, governance, health, and sustainability.

It highlights how rapid population growth, urbanization, migration, and shifts in religious and linguistic patterns are transforming the social fabric worldwide. At the same time, globalization has brought about profound cultural shifts, fostering individualism, gender equality, and diversity discourses, while also provoking nationalist and populist reactions.

This book discusses the emergence of a global culture defined by hyperconnectivity, symbolic consumption, and the post-truth condition, alongside the rise of contested phenomena such as wokeism that reflect deeper struggles over identity and values. In international affairs, the book situates these changes within a broader geopolitical realignment, where the decline of Western dominance is matched by the ascent of multipolar power centers, particularly in Asia. Economic inequality and corporate concentration of power are shown to exacerbate global divides, fueled by financialization, tax evasion, and crony capitalism. Health and sustainability are positioned as defining challenges of the century.

From pandemics to mental health crises, and from climate change to ecological degradation, these issues highlight the vulnerabilities and interdependencies of an interconnected world. The author argues that humanity is undergoing a paradoxical transformation, marked by both fragmentation and integration, the persistence of traditions amid modernization, and escalating risks accompanied by new possibilities. Ultimately, the century will be shaped not only by crises but also by opportunities for innovation, cultural synthesis, and collective action.
