What makes a winning program?

Fifteen years ago The Standish Group (www.standishgroup.com/chaosReport/index  - 2009) reported that:

• 68% of IT projects were not delivered on time and/or on budget
• Of those, 1/3rd were cancelled or never used.

That's a complete failure rate over 20%. Have new IT development models and a focus on project and change management yielded improvement? Not really.

CIO (www.cio.com/article/3211485/why-it-projects-still-fail) looked at multiple studies from 2016 - 2021 and reported that:

• 70% of complex change programs don’t reach their goals
• 70% of IT project fall short of their objectives
• 74% legacy modernizations were never completed 

So, what makes a winning program?

In the last two decades, over 4500 studies on Social-Emotional Intelligence, (Ref PubMed.Gov and ERIC.Ed.Gov). Over 20% of these studies are focused on management and leadership. Research shows that having a resonant leadership environment is the most important factor of success; an environment with shared vision and where people feel connected to their customers, co-workers, organization, and job purpose.

Who creates a culture of resonance and what components determine their success?

Employees reflect the culture that is created from the top down, and the components that make effective senior leadership are:

• 1/3rd Cognitive Intelligence (IQ): Knowledge, Systems Thinking, and Problem Solving
• 1/3rd Social Intelligence (SQ): Social Awareness & Relationship Management
• 1/3rd Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Emotional Self Awareness and Self-Management
