In many organisations a high percentage of projects fail, undermining executives’ confidence in the strategy they are leading, in the investments they are making, and in the people promising to deliver the benefits of change. Amongst the most common causes of problems with project performance are an assumption that value is driven by capital investment, misunderstandings about the role of IT, an unintended bias towards investing in operations, and the incorrect application of portfolio theory.
