Lessons form ICT projects Dutch Gov. November 2007
€ 4 - € 5 Billion ( 5.000.000.000 !!!!!!) spend on failed ICT projects:
“ICT projects of the government are usually to ambitious and complex by a combination of political, organisational and technical factors. In these projects there’s a lack of balance between ambition, available human and other resources and time.
Political complexity concerns the specific characteristics of a political environment.
Organisatonal complexity concerns the characteristics that relate to the organisational aims of the project.
Technical complexity relates to the technical developments and implementation.”
