Presentation: A Practical Approach for Improving Project Success
Is your organisation’s investment in data and analytics appropriately informed and achieving the promised objectives?
According to Project Management Institute (PMI) 36% of projects fail to meet their business objectives with 35% failing due to the inability to clearly define information requirements. These stats haven’t changed in the last decade.
Being data-driven is not a sustainable approach to improving business. Being “data driven” entails using data (assumed to be facts) to make strategic decisions. Data, of course, representing what has been collected and stored in databases. And we know this does not always translate to ‘information” that is accurate, relevant, or truly understood.
Instead, we must be data “informed”. Capturing and nurturing the knowledge of the organisation creates a business-driven approach that is a good risk mitigation strategy for:
- Making informed infotech investment,
- Preventing loss of organisational knowledge due to staff movement & attrition,
- Ensuring regulatory compliance, and
- Delivering reliable information
In this presentation, we will present an overview of our 4-point KSIR strategy based on our award-winning Intralign® ecosystem as presented in our recently published book: “Data Governance Needs Risk Management: Moving from Data-Driven to Business-Driven”.
