  1. Inadequate sponsorship and leadership
  2. Limited involvement from key stakeholders
  3. Improperly structured governance
  4. Funding limitations
  5. Improper staffing

Having worked with numerous institutions I’ve seen the consensus trap firsthand. Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself and grab the report here: Deloitte: Higher Ed Change Management

It’s been all about standardization and automation of business processes. Until and unless companies learn how to harness knowledge flows, the impact of the technology will mainly be continuing competitive pressure.

There is a completely different set of values that information technology can drive, connecting and communicating with the outside world, both partners and customers, which can translate into competitive advantage. — John Hagel
