Mr. Macomber's presentation discussed the significance of people as the soul of a project. The confluence of information transparency, individual effectiveness, economic risk and personal comfort occurs within a properly designed and implemented project extranet, yet it is people that give a project life and meaning. A project can only be successful when all components are working in synchronization. Practically, your business information strategy gives you a competitive advantage only when it lowers your cost and increases performance for your customer. Technology is the great equalizer, but people are the differentiator.
People are the soul of the project.
