Project Rescue: So Close and yet so Far
Laster, Stephen
Campus Technology, v24 n9 p14-15 May 2011
This is the third installment in a four-part series that follows the exploits of Gene, a well-established CIO of a sizable IT organization at a top-100 university. Gene has been working with his team to regain the trust of the campus through Project Rescue, a 30-day turnaround plan focused on demonstrating IT's value. Project Rescue has two primary objectives: (1) implement a more transparent planning and governance process; and (2) deliver a series of quick wins around some visible projects with high customer value. This article takes a look at how far Gene and his team have progressed.
