October 19th: Back From Red - Recovering From Failed Projects

 

Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver - Le Pavillon I and II, 791 West Georgia Street

Wednesday 5:00 - 8:00 pm

Estimates for the annual cost of project failure are as high as two trillion dollars a year. The rates for projects being at risk are in the 60-70% range, and a quarter of all project's problems are so bad they are simply cancelled prior to completion. Preferably, all projects will run according to plan. However, moving from a 60% failure rate to 0% is unrealistic. First, organizations must understand what it is that makes their projects fail. Reasons range from methodology to human failure to poorly understood concepts to scope creep. Analyzing projects as systems uncovers all the factors that can contribute to failure.

Presenter:  Todd C. Williams, President, eCameron Inc.
As President of eCameron, Inc., located outside Portland, Oregon, he is considered an expert in rescuing projects and preventing their failure. He maintains a blog at http://ecaminc.com/index.php/blog that has been quoted on CIO Update, ZDNet, IT Business Edge, The Center for CIO Leadership, CIO Essentials, and Project Managers Planet.
