Are you managing the three risk factors that threaten your IT implementation?
Big IT implementation is a high-stakes game. The potential for positive business results are massive, but so are the downside risks. System costs alone can run into the tens of millions, but this is often dwarfed by the cost of disruptions to the organization and its clients when things go badly, easily running into the hundreds of millions. While the numbers for smaller companies and smaller projects may be less, it is still more the rule than the exception that a company’s future and the career of the professionals involved hang in the balance when they take on major IT implementations.
Unfortunately, less that 1/3 of all such projects manage to meet expectations. While not widely known, this dismal success rate has held constant for decades. Why is that?
Well to be successful, project leaders must address three areas of fundamental risk that threaten any IT implementation. While most are able to manage one or two risk factors successfully, few manage all three; and if any one factor is neglected, the potential business results of the project are largely squandered.
This instrument explicitly investigates each risk area separately, uncovering problems that project teams have not addressed adequately.
