Every successful individual accomplishes his goals with the support and guidance of his coach or mentor. The coaches’ ability to motivate, communicate and establish a relationship with the students is a remarkable trait that brings out the individuals’ core values. Business coaching is a new phenomenon that has developed into a movement in the corporate world, which facilitates behavioral and psychological changes in the executives to better their managerial styles. The basic aim of business coaching is to mak
It seems that almost every day we read in the newspapers about another hideously over budget IT project that doesn't achieve its expected benefits. The ones we read about are usually major multi-million pound projects in the public sector, however this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Many more projects achieve similar results in the private sector, in organisations large and small. These may be anything from the purchase of a new off-the-shelf accounting package for an SME, or a large-scale fully-integrated ERP implementation across multiple sites and countries. These do not usually make the headlines due to the commercially sensitive nature of this information.
Does this mean that the technology is over-rated or that we cannot manage IT implementations or is there something fundamentally wrong with the approach?
Where are we going wrong?

Did you know if you love to travel or want a job driving for a living that you can make money delivering motorhomes? It is true. And it makes sense for those who love to drive but do not want to deal with people like they would if they were driving a bus, taxi cab, limousine or coach. Of course you could get a job as a truck driver too, but delivering motorhomes is nice because they are generally new or very nice.How much do they pay you? Well often if you drive one across country you can make $2500 or

This morning, as I emerged blinking from Chancery Lane station on my way to work, I was confronted by a young lady sporting a nylon tunic emblazoned with the words ‘Every Child’ and a fat clipboard full of Direct Debit forms. As I approached, she began to play out some ridiculous dumb show of desperation worthy of the sad clown in a cut-price circus and entreating myself and the guy walking immediately ahead of me to “Pleeeeeease stop and talk to me!” in pathetic, ‘can-I-have-a-pony-Daddy?’ tones. In response

I wouldn't go as far as the above comment, however there is an element of truth in it.
Typically the IT implementation is seen as the solution to the particular problem (or problems) being addressed, but this is rarely the case. Often the introduction of an IT "solution" can compound a problem as there is now less opportunity for the human intervention that previously stopped problems from becoming crises.
The problems usually lie in the business processes (both formal and informal), irrespective of whether these are carried out by computers or human beings. Automating these processes can simply have the effect of making the problems happen faster!
The obsession with IT as the solution to every major business issue is compounded by the marketing departments and sales people of software developers selling it as such. Until executives address the underlying processes first, we will continue to see streams of failed, expensive IT projects.
