digitisation doctor introduction
DESCRIPTION
Introduction to Digitisation Doctor (DigiDoc) is aimed at individuals from institutions that are committing themselves to digitisation, but who may have queries or concerns about the processes involved in a digitisation project. We’re asking attendees to tell us about the digitisation they are involved in and the different challenges they face so that we can shape the day according to their needs.TRANSCRIPT

The Project Managers Dilemma
In reality, most projects can have no more than TWO of these!
LOW COST
FAST
Planning and communication are essential!
“Planning is an unnatural process. It is much nicer to just get on with the job: failure then comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceded by a period of worry and doubt.” Sir John Harvey-Jones
Technology projects usually fail because:
32% - inadequate project management & control
20% - lack of communication
17% - failure to define objectives
17% - lack of familiarity with project scope & complexity
14% - incorrect technology & project sizeFigures courtesy of KPMG
