Failure due to misjudgments
According to study director and Horváth partner Christian Daxböck, many problems during the transition are rooted in an incorrect program setup. The complexity of the project and the required resources are underestimated, while organizational competence is overestimated.
“This mismatch leads to the enormous discrepancies between plan and results,” he says.
Another problem, according to Daxböck, involves prioritization: Too many goals are classified as equally important and should therefore, at best, be addressed simultaneously, which is ultimately also a consequence of inadequate project management.
