Technology is everywhere, but for many business leaders, it often feels like an obstacle rather than an advantage. Jody Jankovsky, Founder and CEO of Blackline IT, wrote Technology Intelligence The Business Leader’s Guide to Thriving in the Intelligent Age to change that. His Technology Intelligence framework, or TQ, gives executives the tools to regain control, make smart decisions, and align technology with business goals—all without becoming IT specialists.

Many leaders spend hours chasing fixes, managing vendors, and deciphering technical reports. This constant firefighting prevents them from focusing on growth and strategy. That’s where Jankovsky’s TQ framework comes in. By following clear principles, leaders can take the guesswork out of technology decisions, understand what drives value, and confidently invest in initiatives that impact the bottom line.

Jankovsky built Blackline IT after realizing that small and mid-sized businesses often lack the IT leadership and structure needed to thrive. Leaders end up frustrated with fragmented systems and vendors that don’t deliver. Technology Intelligence changes that by bridging the gap between business strategy and IT. It helps leaders focus on outcomes rather than systems, creating alignment across teams and ensuring technology investments actually drive growth.

Unlike typical IT guides, Jankovsky emphasizes clarity and practicality. He doesn’t overwhelm readers with technical jargon. Instead, he provides actionable steps to assess, manage, and optimize technology for measurable results. Companies that implement TQ see stronger operational efficiency, improved decision-making, and a more innovative workplace culture.

For executives ready to take control, reduce confusion, and unlock the power of technology, Jody Jankovsky’s Technology Intelligence The Business Leader’s Guide to Thriving in the Intelligent Age is the definitive guide.
