“When an organization’s key systems, processes, technologies, and organizational structure does not align with overall strategy, they cannot fully support the organization’s goals. This mis-alignment result in excess cost, reduced productivity, and quickly respond to changes in the market” says C.K. Park, Founder and CEO, Nationwide IT Services (NIS), a company which specializes in developing business solutions by leveraging Information Technology. “Numerous studies have shown that as high as 70 percent of projects face costly delays, do not meet customer requirements, or fail to implement due to these impediments,” he adds. To address the challenges, NIS has developed an integrative approach to manage the implementation of technology projects by incorporating requirements management, organizational change management (including training) and the project management discipline.
