RESUME OF MICHAEL HERB
________________________________________
Question: Why do more then 85% of enterprise-level IT deployment projects experience critical setbacks in cost, schedule, scope and quality of delivery, often under-delivering or terminated before completion?

What separates the minority of successful IT initiatives from the costly failures?

Answer: The critical difference between success and failure lies in project leadership's depth of experience and understanding of principles underlying successful deployment of enterprise-wide IT projects. Project leadership needs to anticipate and manage the numerous challenges which will arise before they occur, instead of reacting to them after they become costly problems.

Insight, based upon experience, makes the difference.
