1. “Speak the business’s language when defining the problem and recommending solutions.”
2. “Be respectful of the work that has been accomplished to date. Employees are proud of the system they’ve built – even when those systems have reached their expiration date.”
3. “Consider the impact of an IT transformation on all stakeholders – employees, vendors and partners – and train them accordingly.”
4. Encourage IT staffers to speak openly about problems and setbacks. They’ll help identify course corrections and reduce the fear of failure.”
5. “communicate through every phase of the project.”
