Why your next technology decision has a 70% chance of failing (and how to prevent that from happening!)

Your customer’s expectations are rising, employees need seamless collaboration regardless of location, and your data is increasingly challenging to manage and leverage.

According to The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), 80% of companies plan to accelerate their companies’ ability to utilize technology overall in 2023—and with good reason. Decisions about digital technologies are increasingly embedded in the core of the business and will act as a key driver of operational efficiency and competitive advantage.

Not so fast. BCG also reported that 70% of those projects will fail, falling short of their objectives.

Reasons for Failure

Why do these initiatives fail?

#1: Technology & Information Overload

As information around more and more cloud services, security concerns, pricing, and user requirements top the list, leadership is tasked to evaluate and distinguish between evolving technologies to solve immediate needs. Technology saturation and information overload have business leaders confused.

#2: Being tasked to do more with less.

While this challenge is not new to IT, changes in the economy, shrinking budgets, and a reduced workforce has created a rush to digitalize processes without clearly defining how technology will drive value instead of cost.

#3: Leadership is trying to do it alone.

As many business leaders take on transformative technology initiatives, they lack an accurate understanding of the concept and the approaches to executing it successfully and avoiding the pitfalls of embarking on this journey. In simpler words, they try to do it alone.

Technology initiatives fail when organizations don’t have a practical, detailed path to success. You will need to do business in real-time and scale up or down as business conditions demand—all while reducing operational expenses.

The technology journey is transforming, and you will need both expertise and experience to navigate success.
