There
is no single reason for projects not to realise the benefits
promised at the outset
But
most don't.
Over
the last 30 years, there has been a remorseless decline in
hardware costs as a proportion of total project costs. Now,
after a period when we saw software licence fees increasing,
software costs are also facing a downward trend.
On
the other hand, the organisational costs facing any business
implementing even moderate change, be it to systems, processes,
or structure have increased dramatically over the same timeframe.
At
the same time, organisations have also reduced their own non-core
resources to the point where internal IT and project management
departments can only undertake an IT systems maintenance.
Sponsoring, implementing and managing large scale change confidently
is often beyond their reach.
No
wonder there has been a corresponding increase in the risk
of a failure to deliver the full benefits anticipated for
a project, or even that the project will fail completely.

for project failure and we're willing to put a portion
