Five Polytechnics Case Study

Information Management projects can help deliver huge productivity gains, but they are often complex and challenging, and need to be approached very deliberately to ensure success.

Anna Nuzum of Sweeney Vesty spoke with some of the polytechnics Information Leadership has been working with and identified:

Nine critical factors necessary for any organisation to implement a solution that not only achieves compliance but also delivers productivity gains

• Start at the top
• Push the right button
• Go for the quick win
• Get the blueprint right
• Don't reinvent the wheel
• Project leaders empowered
• Find the champions
• Show not tell
• Be smart about roll-out

While the nine principles alone are not rocket science and can appear obvious, in our experience projects that fall off the wagon are invariably missing one of these essential elements.
