 Successfully Implementing New Technology
New technology projects are complex by nature because they usually entail changing processes, systems, and staff roles. Add on top of those factors the cross-departmental implications and organization politics and one can see why there are many facets to a technology project that need to be managed very closely. With a historical project failure rate of over 70% in the information technology industry, starting a new technology initiative can be daunting. Fortunately, there are content companies who have successfully completed new technology projects and have streamlined workflow, developed new products, and gained a significant edge over their competition. Come hear a panel of experts who have successfully completed a new technology project and discuss:
What were the best practices that were leveraged?Â
