/EINPresswire.com/ This year saw the 2nd Annual IT Governance Publishing Book of the Year Awards. All titles published before the end of February 2012 were eligible for the award, with the aim being to bring increased recognition to the ITGP portfolio, and to those authors that go the extra mile in promoting their book within its market.





The awards were overseen by our editorial board, and the winning title was judged on a combination of the highest unit sales and the highest number of reader recommendations via an online survey.





ITGP take great pleasure in announcing, the winning title of this exciting award as 'Managing Business Transformation: A Practical Guide', authored by Melanie Franklin, CEO of Maven Training: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3561.

Melanie Franklin commented, 'It is truly inspiring to know that so many people have read my book and voted for me. As part of the voting process, customers were given the opportunity to review the book and it was gratifying to hear how useful the step by step guide to change management has been and how it is helping people make organisational change a reality. Thank you to everyone who voted for my book.'





It was a closely fought competition; with Chong Ee's book 'Compliance by Design: IT Controls that Work', just missing out on the coveted title: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3560.





Chong adds, 'Considering Compliance by Design: IT Controls that Work' is my first book, I'm honoured to be placed runner-up to the ITGP Book of the Year award. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the ITGP team. In an increasingly interconnected economy, grappling with interrelated risks, I feel blessed to be part of a greater community dedicated to building enterprise resilience and sustainability.'





Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance said, "This award has been a great way to acknowledge our authors, and the essential guidance they provide in their books. Both the winning and runner-up title provide vital material for today's organisations, directors, managers and practitioners and the comments received in the public vote really show just how much readers value ITGP titles. We look forward to the 2013 contest".
