About this event

Why do some investments succeed (CERB) and others fail (Phoenix) despite the application of good project management? What can leaders do to ensure that organizational investments actually produce real value?

Research completed by Dr. Gerald Grant (Sprott School of Business) and Robert Collins (experienced high-tech executive) over the last 10 years focused on these questions. The key is to have an absolute focus on the value to be produced rather than focus on the technology that enables it. The details of this work can be found in their book "The Value Imperative: Harvesting Value form your IT Initiatives".

This session provides an overview of their findings including:

• The Value Cycle - mapping and understanding what value is created by whom for whom;

• The Value Realization Cycle - understanding how value is created by investments from strategy to delivery; and

• The Agricultural Model - a better alternative to organization investments than the rigid engineering model which has failed us so often in the past.

Note: The presentation will be captured and made available to participants only.
