THREE SUREFIRE WAYS NEW PROJECTS FAIL
● Select a solution without identifying a problem○ “Oooooh, look at the shiny thing!”○ You’re all here, so I think you’re past this.
● Buy a product without a plan to implement○ “It’s paid for, so you better use it!”○ Identify where you’re going to start and
what next steps are.
● Making a selection without getting buy in first○ “I didn’t help choose it, so I won’t use it!”○ Do workshops, lunch ‘n’ learns, demos and
other “indoctrination” sessions from the start!
