Comments on: Maybe Hospital IT Should Embrace a Non-Punitive Culture http://histalk2.com/2008/02/13/maybe-hospital-it-should-embrace-a-non-punitive-culture/ Healthcare IT News and Opinion Sun, 20 May 2012 19:02:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Software Salesguy 1972 http://histalk2.com/2008/02/13/maybe-hospital-it-should-embrace-a-non-punitive-culture/comment-page-1/#comment-744 Software Salesguy 1972 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:30:06 +0000 http://histalk2.com/2008/02/13/maybe-hospital-it-should-embrace-a-non-punitive-culture/#comment-744 Hey, I'm prejudiced by what I sell, but the article underscores the need for robust project and project portfolio management methodology and tools. Specifically, supporting tools must be easy to use and easy to roll-out, once you go outside of the core PM group. Traditional ePM tools that are not simple to use for casual users and non-core IT resources will just contribute to project failure. Without having some good IT governance structures in place, some balanced scoreing on proposed projects, and some portfolio management methodology in place, you're going to be going down the wrong path more often than not, and likely not able to tell when you start to go off the rails.

CXO's, Board's, Wall Street etc. its not about them it's about doing waht is right no matter if you have to step back and say we made a mistake, what do we need to do to FIX the problem. I am all about due dilegence and risk mitigation, I have been both in high level high-level IT roles, consulting, and the vendor software industry and always been honest with CX's about situations that I see or have seen in the industry or their facility. The CXO's that say they don't have a problem, can't afford a solution to help mitigate a problem, watch what typically happens over the next 18 months. Humans make mistakes (and always will), however we can and should do what we must do. Be honest and open, don't point the blame be part of the solution.
