How to decide whether a project is a failure
StephanMeyer.com
Abstract
This chapter takes a closer look at change projects and discusses whether the rumours are true that so many of them are complete failures. In a nutshell, whether a change initiative is considered a ‘success,’ or a ‘failure,’ is mostly dependent on classical project baselines, but also the observer’s perspective and the observer’s expectation. However, these differentiations are often ignored when making blunt statements about change projects.
