The state of transformation
The largest unmanaged
spend in the enterprise.
Finance has ERP and audit. Sales has CRM. Operations has service management. Transformation, where the largest capital sums in the modern enterprise are committed, is run on slideware and vendor status reports marked green until they are red. It is the last board-level discipline with no system of control.
McKinsey IT Project Outcomes
43%
Fragmented delivery erodes every budget.
45%average budget overrun on large IT programmes. Time overruns run 7% on top.
Deloitte Insights · Vendor Complexity
7+
No single vendor owns the outcome.

Where this is going
Making execution a managed discipline.

02
Next

Future
