Evaluation Survey
Evidence shows that IT project failure happens more often than we’d like to admit in all types of organizations. The reasons for failure can be diverse, but at the root of many failures is lack of adoption. We’ll investigate the reasons that new IT systems don’t take hold in organizations, and how you can avoid these problems, starting from the very beginning of your project.

We’ll also walk through a framework for maximum adoption that can be implemented in parallel with any tech project. This session will start with a panel of seasoned project managers from various organizations (consultants and nonprofits). We’ll finish up with a workshop where our experts from the panel will help attendees build an adoption plan (including a specific communication plan for new technology) for a simulated project so that everyone gets hands-on experience putting their new skills into practice.
