- Business partners give you easy access – are always happy to talk to you about new ideas.
- Projects, even large ones, are stopped because it was recognized that the necessary conditions for success were not (or no longer) being met.
- All projects have to have a business case, and the case is taken seriously – even long after the project has been implemented.
- Major projects have as much business participation as they do by IT professionals.
- Valued IT professionals are leaving IT to work in business units.
- Valued business professionals are leaving their business units to join the IT organization.
- There has been a realignment of the IT leadership team in the last 12 months.
- Stopping stuff (projects, activities, retiring systems) is valued as positive behavior, rather than being frowned upon as “failure.”
- More projects are being kicked off without clear and concise “requirements specifications” – experiments are considered ok.
