Product Description
In Working Your Network, Mark Champion shares his experience and innovative business and technology philosophies, which will enable you to think intelligently about your business technology environment and maximize your company's market share through large-scale thinking that keeps in mind the needs of any sized business. In Working Your Network, Vol. 1, Mark Champion draws the correlation between the best business models in the world today, and the tools they implement to get to the top. With this understanding, it is clear to see why some businesses remain "mom and pop" locations while a select few make it quickly to the top of their game. Working Your Network, Vol. 1: Managing Technology - From Survival to Success educates, informs, and inspires the reader to use the tools presented within to claim dominance within their industry. Long gone are the days of thinking success is only achievable for those "other guys". Regardless of your company's size or budget (or lack thereof), this book will show you how to manage the technology that enables all of your business processes with techniques you can apply immediately. Written in plain English, with no overtly technical discussions, for technical and non-technical employees, managers, and business owners alike.

Highly Recommended December 20, 2006
It seemed like I had read every business and technology book out there and they all basically said the same things... blah blah blah and a lot of technical language that didn't really HELP me. A friend recommended this book to me and I am so thankful. It talks about how to strategize with your technology decisions and really helped me understand how integral my technology is to my company's success. There is a great section about how to think about technology. It showed me how to start off by analyzing my business' needs and then gave me a practical way to approach matching those needs to technology. It also showed me how to develop projectized designs and documents to really organize the process. I don't feel like I am shuffling around in the dark anymore when I am trying to make business technology decisions. This book is a great tool.
The book is divided up into smaller sections so its easy to refer back to in the midst of a project. There are very useful sample diagrams of the various documents he suggests you use to organize and document your network. He talks about how to calculate ROI's and the realistic things you need to account for when making technology changes. It also has a great dictionary of terms in the back so I can now speak intelligently with the consultants I do have to contact. His writing style is very easy to read, there is virtually no 'tech' language. It is a very user friendly book, there is a section at the end of each chapter called "Applying Method to the Madness" which gives you prompts on how to apply what you've learned. The book is motivational and actually gets you excited about what you can accomplish. I think it has definitely made me a more valuable member of my business.
I found this book to be a really great tool to use and definitely recommend it highly.
