Do IT projects fail due to poor planning, lack of communication, and/or inadequate budgeting? In this episode, we will explore the reasons behind the failure of IT project management and discuss strategies to fix it.

David Luria offers an important perspective on this topic. One critical issue with IT project management is the tendency to overlook the human element. It is not enough to simply focus on the technical aspects of the project; we must also consider the people who will be implementing it. This means ensuring that the team has the necessary skills and resources and providing them with the support they need to succeed.

We welcome Dr. David Hillson to look at project risk management for business leaders and project leaders through the metaphor of a risk hurricane, which David introduced in his book Taming the Risk Hurricane.

Risk management has become a standard part of the strategic tool kit, providing senior leaders with a forward-looking radar to scan the future and give early warnings of approaching threats and opportunities. However, even best-in-class organizations can falter in the face of extreme risk exposure. Special circumstances demand special responses, and extreme risk exposure needs very careful handling. Routine risk management approaches will fall short, but businesses that demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and resilience will have the competitive advantage and the ability to thrive where others fail.
