Planning is Everything

A well-planned implementation, where the business requirements and processes are clearly defined, understood and agreed to by all parties at the start of the project, is critical to the success of any project, no matter how big or small. 

One of the most overlooked aspects of a technology initiative is managing the impact of and resistance to organisational change. Ideally, a change management program should be followed, to educate, prepare and motivate those impacted by the change. The key is to focus on 'why' this is being done. Why is your project critical to your organisation's mission, how does it fit into the overall strategic plan and how will it help you to be more successful?

Implementation Methodology

  Regular meetings, with all parties, to ensure that the project remains on time and within budget.
