Your Key Concern

As a senior manager you are concerned that the purchase / implementation of an IT solution is not going as planned i.e. the project is costing too much, will not be delivered fully on time, if at all, or will not provide all the anticipated benefits to the business. Alternatively you found that the system implemented to date has failed to provide the benefits initially identified and is impacting on the performance of the business. In addition to this there were concerns that the organisation had no defined project management structure to support the successful implementation of the solution.

Increasingly, your management board are raising questions regarding the approach to the IS / IT implementations within the organisation, you need to assure them that the work is being done in line with recognised good practice. You need an independent review to be completed to evaluate the current approach and provide a view, and if necessary, additional advice on ways to improve.

An Example Situation

A large organisation had sometime ago gone to the market for the provision of a business critical IS / IT system. The approach to be adopted was to phase the application into the organisation over a period of time replacing the existing system. However, as the implementation progressed both management and users are raising issues regarding the usability of the application. Specifically, concerns are being raised regarding its use in the business areas, the availability of reliable output and the support received from suppliers.

A key concern for senior management is that the failure of this project may affect not only the organisations reputation but also prevent the successful implementation, and use, of the application long term. Also additional costs will need be explained and reported to the Executive.
