Monday 26 January 2009, Central London. Presentation by author Karen Lawrence Öqvist, to coincide with the launch of her new book on privacy and identity.

The high profile failure of major IT-related projects in both public and private sectors underlines the need for stringent change management. As businesses increasingly look to IT to enable that change, this book examines the types of business change processes that involve the use of IT, from the reasons organisations change the way they work, to how that change is managed and implemented.

Who on your project will have the authority to make decisions at the most senior level? If you do not yet know, find out before the project gets too far downstream. You need to have someone to turn to in case you need a decision on the way the project is heading, and political power games can significantly delay (or stall or close down) a project completely. Project Management example from our book - "Project Management in the Real World".
