Digitalization is not a project: Why projects are not and cannot be the right choice for digitalization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781082061899)

A project is generally defined by various criteria such as:1. the objective to create something new, which does not yet exist in the desired form.2. they are limited in time, which means that both the beginning and the end are defined by deadlines.3. projects are unique.4. projects are equipped with limited resources.5. projects pursue a clearly specified and positively formulated goal.However, at least 3 of the 5 criteria of a project which are regarded here as general and binding prevent successful digitisation projects.In this book I discuss the individual reasons why projects are not and cannot be the right choice for digitisation purposes and prove this with well-founded scientific figures.But I also point out alternatives with which it is possible to promote digitisation in one's own company at very low risk, quickly and cheaply.The way of thinking, one would have to or could convert everything into existing and for other fields established procedures like PRINCE, PMI, PMBoK, etc. on a completely different world, namely that of the digitization sounds tempting, is however no promising way.However, these methods are not suitable at all, but the misbelief that it is the right way is deeply rooted, starting with purchasing and management up to marketing.Because if they would accept or accept the fact that projects are unsuitable, then they would also have to completely change their way of working and thinking to a large extent. Experience has shown that this is a very high hurdle. With this book I try to give you the right momentum to overcome this mental hurdle.
