Averting Project Disasters

Every year we experience IT projects from "hell" that we know will turn into an operational disaster.  But do any come close to Titanic's track-record of four years in development and four days in operation?

Mark Kozak-Holland, Senior E-Business Consultant
IBM Global Services, Canada

Mark helps organizations evalute how enabling technologies can impact their business and enhance existing business processes to the customer.  Mark has recently authored an e-business book, the subject of the presentation.  Mark is passionate about history and advocates that we move through repeating cycles of historical change.  Paying attention to how historical projects and emerging technologies of the past solved complex problems of the day provides some vary valuable insight into how to solve today's more challenging business problems.  Mark is currently working on his second book in the lessons from history series.
