Cambridge Technology Partners Inc. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo) announced that “The Art of Turning IT Strategy into a Weapon: A Practical Approach to Saving Digital Transformation Departments That Have Lost Their Way,” written by company director Yoshifumi Hamamoto, will be published on May 15, 2026. Background: IT is not functioning as a business weapon At many companies, IT investment continues to expand, yet the expected results remain difficult to see. In some cases, IT has become a burden for both frontline operations and management. As systems become more fragmented and complex, operating costs rise, and initiatives such as IT investment and IT system transformation often fail to connect with management expectations or the practical needs of business divisions, ending up as mere formalities. In addition, gaps in understanding between management and frontline teams, as well as insufficient cross-department collaboration, can stall decision-making and reform, preventing companies from using IT as a true “weapon.” This book is a practical guide for using IT as a “company weapon” based on the reality that IT is not functioning sufficiently in many organizations. Rather than treating the creation of an IT strategy as the goal, it systematically explains the mindset and concrete methods needed to execute that strategy while involving management and frontline teams, and to continuously generate value. The book is intended mainly for executives, CIOs, IT department heads, and system managers. It covers practical topics including foundational preparation before DX, prioritization, communication that supports execution, and organizational responses.
