Five Secrets of Top Performing IT Service Leaders

IN THIS ISSUE:

Five Secrets of Top Performing IT Services Leaders

  • Ever wonder how some companies achieve a 90% "perfect person" retention rate?
  • Are you seeing your average selling cycles creep to 18-24 months?
  • Have new business leads dried up this quarter?
  • Ever wonder how your company compares to your peers?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you won't want to miss our research report entitled "Five Secrets of Top Performing IT Services Leaders." We spent three months interviewing dozens of CEOs to find out what separates the top performers from the bottom performers, and share our findings with you. This is perfect timing for those of you in the midst of your 2004 business planning.

Feel free to download a summary in one of several formats:

* Our WSRadio.com audio interview
* Our most recent "Growth in Action" business column
