Putting People First, by Stephen Jenner.
“The fact that failures in major IT projects and programmes come as little surprise indicates that something is amis in the way we approach and manage such initiatives. The usual solutions offered focus on improved implementation but Carl Bate and Nigel Green don’t offer more of the same – rather they provide insights, honed from practical experience in major IT enabled business change projects, that suggest a new way and one that focuses on the human dimensions of change. VPEC-T is more a way of thinking than a methodology, but it is no worse for that. Thought provoking and recommended to all those looking to move beyond the ‘technology, process, people’ paradigm (where people come last)”.
How IT people can talk in a way that everyone understands, By P. Divers
“A simple and elegant approach to allow people who happen to be buildng IT architectures, to talk meaningfully with the the business people who are paying for it. It’s a new way to (begin to) fix an old problem. An IT architecture that ignores people will be both complex and unworkeable. VPECT encourages people type discussions around trust and values in a way that architecture frameworks ignore. An excellent tool, whose application is underestimated by it’s authors in areas way outside of IT architectures”.
