- Maximizing the Business Value and ROI from Your Digital Technology ProjectsLACI @ La Kretz Innovation Campus (LKIC), Los Angeles, CA$35.00
A September 2024 IDC survey documented that:
70% of CIOs reported a 90% failure rate in their customer-built GenAI projects
60% reported a 90% failure rate with vendor led proof-of-concepts
Part of this failure is attributed to starting projects before there is a clear definition and understanding of the desired business outcome.A larger part of the failure is the lack of a coherent and repeatable project management framework and toolset.
