In most instances, we only have to ignore one elephant in the room at a time. But when it comes to the conversion or updating of investment systems and data, the room could end up packed with a passel of pachyderms if you\u2019re not careful. Here are just the beginnings of the herd:<\/p>
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"3.0.74\" custom_padding=\"0px|||\" transparent_background=\"off\" prev_background_color=\"#000000\" next_background_color=\"#000000\"][et_pb_row custom_margin=\"0px|||\" parallax_method_1=\"off\" parallax_method_2=\"off\" _builder_version=\"3.0.47\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\"][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"2_3\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text: Body\" _builder_version=\"3.0.87\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p>
Elephant #1:<\/strong> Management oversights. No management team can manage everything. That\u2019s where the expression slip through the cracks<\/em> came from. That\u2019s why you should seek proven process methodologies that combine domain experience with focused management expertise.<\/p> Elephant #2:<\/strong> Project management issues. Project management isn\u2019t an art. It\u2019s a science. Most project failures are attributable to ineffective or incomplete planning, execution, and\/or documentation.<\/p> Elephant #3<\/strong>: Fear of bringing up certain topics. This is a vicious circle: No one wants to own the project, so it doesn\u2019t get proper attention. Because it doesn\u2019t get proper attention, few (if any) changes actually take place. Because the changes that do take place are marginal, they\u2019re marginally beneficial. No one speaks up. And on it goes.<\/p> Elephant #4:<\/strong> Refusing to cooperate beyond silos. People love comfort zones and hate change. If they\u2019re tasked with \u2014 and responsible for \u2014 anything more than the processes or responsibilities within their existing purview, fuggedaboudit. They\u2019ll be reticent to take on an entire department, business unit, or enterprise. They won\u2019t be comfortable adopt an overall business strategy as a starting point or measuring stick. And they won\u2019t consider the customers who\u2019ll be affected.<\/p> Elephant #5:<\/strong> Issues with vendors. Would you really invite the fox to manage the chicken coop? Testing a new system, for example, is considerably different from testing modifications to an existing system. If testing is done right the first time, the only people happier than you will be the investors whose money you manage.<\/p> Elephant #6:<\/strong> Capabilities of vendors and employees. Would you rather rent the experience of a proven consultant \u2014 or buy just one catastrophic experience of your own? If system implementations and data conversions are done right, you may never know the value. If they\u2019re not, you may never recoup the cost.<\/p> Elephant #7:<\/strong> Personality conflicts. \u2018Nuff said.<\/p> For the sake of your business (to say nothing of your office furniture), keep the elephant(s) out of the room. And whatever you do, don\u2019t let them into your investment-conversion projects.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"section\" fullwidth=\"off\" specialty=\"off\" transparent_background=\"off\" background_color=\"#000000\" allow_player_pause=\"off\" inner_shadow=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"off\" padding_mobile=\"off\" make_fullwidth=\"off\" use_custom_width=\"off\" width_unit=\"on\" make_equal=\"off\" use_custom_gutter=\"off\" module_id=\"contact\" prev_background_color=\"#ffffff\" custom_padding_tablet=\"50px|0|50px|0\" custom_padding_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" global_module=\"493\"][et_pb_row admin_label=\"row\" global_parent=\"493\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" background_size=\"initial\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\"][et_pb_image global_parent=\"493\" src=\"\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/icc_logo-1.png\" use_border_color=\"off\" animation_style=\"slide\" animation_duration=\"500ms\" animation_intensity_slide=\"10%\" animation_direction=\"left\" _builder_version=\"3.12\" \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"3_4\"][et_pb_text global_parent=\"493\" background_layout=\"dark\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" background_size=\"initial\"]<\/p> To find out more about the ways in which we can help, please call us at 603-912-5406 or complete the form below.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_contact_form global_parent=\"493\" captcha=\"off\" email=\"andy@iccinc.com\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" _builder_version=\"3.12\"][et_pb_contact_field field_title=\"Name\" field_type=\"input\" field_id=\"Name\" required_mark=\"on\" fullwidth_field=\"off\" \/][et_pb_contact_field field_title=\"Email Address\" field_type=\"email\" field_id=\"Email\" required_mark=\"on\" fullwidth_field=\"off\" \/][et_pb_contact_field field_title=\"Message\" field_type=\"text\" field_id=\"Message\" required_mark=\"on\" fullwidth_field=\"on\" \/][\/et_pb_contact_form][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[14],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1133"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1133"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1133\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1139,"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1133\/revisions\/1139"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iccinc.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Contact ICC<\/h1>
