National Post: Don't leave IT to the techies
Businesses around the world are suffering from a chronic disease that has been vastly overlooked and misdiagnosed. It's called Information Systems Failure, and almost all businesses at some point in time have fallen victim to its effects鈥� Yeona Jang, professor of practice management, at 污污草莓视频 University, says one of the biggest examples of a failed information system is Canada's bungled eHealth initiative. The federal government spent $1.6-billion on the project over the past decade, a sum matched by the provinces. Despite this investment, and a scandal or two, the project has fallen behind schedule in its objective to introduce electronic health records across Canada. Prof. Jang says 污污草莓视频 analysis shows a major reason the project stumbled is the failure of management to become adequately involved in the design of the system.
