The Failure of I.T. Project Management

Even executives at top tech companies fall prey to this implementation nightmare.
Trying to bring your company out of the digital dark ages?
Traumatized by past transformational projects that made your business less efficient?
Looking for a user adoption strategy that doesn’t sound draconian?
Ask any CEO whether digital transformation is key for their company, and most will say it’s a top priority.
But when it comes to rolling out new technologies, implementation can often lead to a swarm of never-ending problems.
Problems like missing data… drops in productivity… and all the technical glitches that come with moving from one system to another.
Yet most of these complications involve a simple fix.
Missing data can eventually be restored. Lower productivity goes away with enough monitoring and training. And software bugs are always bound to happen, even long after you’ve completed your transformation project.
The real issue is that nobody ends up using the new state-of-the-art enterprise software you just spent millions of dollars on.
In these sorts of situations, many enterprise project managers are quick to blame users for not being able to see the value of new technologies.
But the actual reason users have difficulty switching over has little to do with their technological know-how. Getting people to switch from one platform to another is really about having an effective onboarding process in place.
That means considering factors like:

How prepared employees are for change

Whether you have enough support from key decision-makers

The level of agreement between users and software teams
