IEEE Consultants’ Network of San Diego

Topic: “Enterprise IT & the Language of Execution”

Speaker: Dave Burrill, Managing Director - IT’s About What, LLC

Abstract:


Over seventy percent (70%) of enterprise IT projects fail. For larger, more complex projects over a million dollars the failure rate jumps to ninety-five percent (95%). These failures cost US companies roughly $500 Billion every year. Two-thirds of these failures happen for just one reason. It’s not the technology. It’s not the team. It’s because what the business is trying to do is never fully communicated; therefore, it’s never fully understood.
The origins of this communication problem are not what we have assumed. Psychologists and neuroscientists have recently discovered that the human brain does not work the way we thought it worked. And that discovery has profound implications for how we need to manage our project communications. The purpose of this presentation is threefold: (i) To unpack how two-thirds of enterprise IT projects fail; (ii) To explain the mental processes that are responsible for those failures; and (iii) To offer a simple solution—a checklist—that can be used by anyone to prevent such a communication problem from destroying their IT project.
