| GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING ***Rescheduled**** Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 6 PM Fuddruckers 1949 SPID, Corpus Christi SPID & Crosstown, Greenwood Exit Jack Ryder, PMP Senior Consultant with Robbins-Gioia "How Can We Jump Start IT Projects to Increase the Odds for Success? " The key driver for change for most customers is the need to do business more effectively and more efficiently. Typically they tend to look first to technology that will help them achieve those change objectives. However, technology alone will not achieve the change objectives - an organization must also be ready for change in terms of their people and their business processes. As more and more organizations fight their way out of multiple stove pipe legacy systems and into the wonderful world of Enterprise Resource Program solutions they are faced with failed IT implementations. This is especially true when the enterprise solution is a black box (silver bullet) solution. Jack will explore the possibility that we can increase our chances for success in these efforts by leveraging some up front disciplines to Jump Start our projects. |
