To ambitious, moving very fast very slow Pitfalls To ambitious, moving very fast very slow On paper we are moving very fast, we are very ambitious, and the ROI graph is very nice looking But are we forgetting the Business Are we implmenting Business processes or are we implementing technology 6

Phase 2,3,nnn Why is it so difficult to get to the next real phase of the implementation Did we forget to implement the tools that made it easier Did we start of on the wrong food 7

Did we ever pack the bag with all the tools we needed for the journey Phase 2,3,nnn Did we ever pack the bag with all the tools we needed for the journey Did we forget to implement the tools that made it easier 8

Pack your back Foundation Choose the correct platform Chose the correct software Chose the correct team Create a great working environment Project Set the vision Slice it into workable deliverables Deliver and create success stories The day after Create a support organization to manage the application Implement the tools to keep the system running, and evolving It sounds easy, everybody knows it , so why dont we do this everytime 9

Project Phases It sounds easy, everybody knows it , so why dont we do this everytime 10
