What is it about Information Technology (IT) that makes it so difficult to deliver? Of

course, technology can be difficult and complex, but then, so can be engineering, genetics

or any number of other disciplines. As we started developing the ideas in this book, we

spent some time thinking about what was going wrong. Indeed, the entire volume could

have been about war stories, tales from the front lines of IT failure, but that wouldn’t be

too helpful. Instead, we turned our cogitations to the causes of that failure and what could

be done to address them.

There is frequent talk in computing circles that the mainframe guys had it left in terms

of computer design and that very little has been invented since then. While plenty of

good might have come out of the 1970s, perhaps one less-than-positive legacy is the

notion that computers and other technologies can, in some way, be built to last: Once

deployed, they can be left well alone. The last couple of decades have shown us that

nothing could be further from the truth; however, many organisations still act as if it

were so.

Even the failings of IT are generally bounded within discrete projects – like medieval

cathedral builders or motorcar manufacturers, the suggestion is that the end result will

somehow be fixed in time. The computing press is full of examples of projects that

have failed to deliver, but this attention masks the bigger problem: Even projects

delivered to time and to budget deliver a disappointing service and poor returns on the

original investment. Perhaps it is a psychological trait, a combination of denial and

making do, which leads to the belief that things will be different this time, and that

somehow, IT will start to fit the definition of what it should be, rather than what it is

known to be.
