I underestimated the amount of work it would take in the leadership area, and we stretched people out in hours beyond what was reasonable. So I would put more folks on implementation if I could do it over again. A ccording to Peter F. Drucker, corporate America is headed for a major systems revision, and he's not talking about the year 2000 problem. The problem is one of quantity and content, he says. First, the systems measure the wrong things.
Accounting usually focuses on costs, and IT generally translates to technology.
There are no results. Moreover, Drucker predicts that the two systems soon will become one. We need to make one information system out of the two, and one information structure out of God knows how many. To do so will require a better leader than the average Joe, and co-keynote speaker Warren Bennis outlined some of the attributes successful leaders share. A leader must have a total sense of conviction and be able to communicate that conviction to the rest of the team.
