One in 6 large IT projects fail running 200-400% over budget, putting companies and careers at risk. [HBR September 2011].
This is not a ‘black swan event’, unanticipated. Failure at this scale is predictable and preventable for those with the foresight to diagnose the situation early. Failure to assess project health early contributes to the $1,000,000,000 that will be written off by IT projects this year alone.
The Success Healthcheck for IT Projects is a success diagnostic for businesses and their leaders who are committed to ensuring that project and IT investment delivers value for the investment. Clients using this method can expect a minimum of a 10% improvement in the returns on their investment.
Shelton Consulting was founded in 2003 with a vision that businesses can change without major trauma to the people in the business or to their clients. Better yet, by taking a systemic approach, unanticipated benefits come to life, for individuals, for the business and for the bottom line.
In hard nosed terms, the methods we use, the ways we advice the executives who are our clients and the organisations with whom we license our methods generate astonishing results. It’s possible to lift the overall results of project investment by 20% or more. On major transformation projects, we have saved over $50,000,000.
Yes, it takes effort and investment. The results are worth while.
It takes courage and humor, too.
