So why do so many strategies, plans and projects
FAIL?

• Research across the last decade demonstrates that
  failure in the execution and implementation
  phases
• is more often than not cited as the primary
  factor impeding the successful execution of most
  strategies,
• plans and projects and the main reason for
  FAILURE!??!
• So why do projects fail?- Weak Business Case-
  Poor Project Planning- Lack of executive
  management support and involvement- Lack of
  user involvement- Lack of business ownership/
  Sponsorship- Poor leadership- Cultural
  Misalignment- Poor communications- Technology
  new to the organisation- Lack of clear
  methodologies and processes- Managers
  responsible for and leading projects with A
  lack of basic project management skills, tools
  techniques and ability to work with and apply
  up-to-date project management methodologies and
  processes
• To name but a few reasons...

BMC In-Company Customised Solutions

• Unlike many of our competitors We do not have
  - A One-Size-Fits-All approach and therefore
  do not impose our systems, methodologies or
  processes on our clients - or require that they
  adapt to us We adapt our expertise, methodology
  and processes to your specific requirements and
  situationOur training initiatives and
  interventions take into account the methodologies
  and processes that are already in place within
  your operations and model and adapt training and
  consultancy around these where relevant,
  appropriate and valuableIt may also seem to go
  without saying - but not always so, with some of
  our competitors BMC provides exactly the
  experience, expertise, content, teaching and
  knowledge transfer capabilities agreed to we
  have no second tier junior consultants or
  unexpected 3rd parties coming in to deliver BMC
  guarantees that what is agreed to is delivered by
  our most experienced and expert consultants/
  trainers

  projects currently in process within
  organisations are not linked to or associated
