THE CRITICAL FACTORS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROJECT SUCCESS
 
Over 70% of Information Technology (I.T.) investments fail and over 70% of corporations are dissatisfied with their I.T. investments. A number of significant corporate collapses in recent years can be attributed to I.T. failure.
 
WHY?
 
Since 1994 Dr James Robertson has undertaken considerable applied research into these shocking statistics and has presented thes findings at numerous local and international conferences.
 
He is now in the process of publishing a book on the subject and would like to invite you or your representative to attend a free seminar on Thursday 31 October 2002. The seminar is jointly sponsored by James A Robertson and Associates (JAR&A), Knowledge Integration Dynamics (KID), Rieger Industrial Consultants (RIC) and Unidata.
 
Challenging Findings
Our findings challenge much of the conventional wisdom regarding I.T. and offer executive management the opportunity to gain control over what seems in many organizations to be an area of business that has escaped executive control . By attending this seminar you will learn why I.T. is not delivering and will also learn the critical business factors required for I.T. investment success.
 
Pro-Active Business Measures
This information will enable you to take pro-active measures to bring your I.T. into line as a productive, effective contributor to corporate operation, sustainability and better decision making and as a resource contributing to corporate competitiveness and profitability in line with corporate expectations.
 
The seminar will equip you with insights which you will be able to apply immediately in taking charge of your existing I.T. investments and in taking control of current I.T. projects. This will substantially reduce the probability of failure and increase the probability of a successful outcome. These measures will prevent the business crippling and career threatening outcomes that so frequently characterise I.T. projects.
 
Speakers at the seminar include:
Dr James Robertson, listed in the second edition of "2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century" and listed for four consecutive years in "Who's Who in the World" for his internationally accepted work in identifying the "REAL ISSUES in I.T." and how to achieve successful outcomes.
 
Aubrey van Aswegan, Chief Executive Officer of Knowledge Integration Dynamics a leading provider of Business Intelligence solutions.
 
Justin McPhail of Rieger Industrial Consultants, International specialists in the field of Process design and optimization.
 
Other speakers representing leading thinking within the context of the seminar topic.
