Transforming failure into success through organisational learning: An analysis of a manufacturing information system
This paper describes the idiosyncracies of a case study company, through highlighting issues and problems
experienced during their attempts to evaluate, implement and realise the holistic implications of a manufacturing
information system. Although the Information System (IS) was operational for a period of time, it
was eventually deemed a failure. The reason for this was that a range of human and organisational factors
prevented the organisation from embracing the full impact of the system. The eventual success of their
information system was realised through a bespoke implementation, based upon a traditional systems development
lifecycle that indirectly addressed learning issues following the earlier failed deployment. The
paper highlights key issues relating to business success and failure, and then contrasts them alongside the
presented case study. In doing so, the authors conclude by proposing methods through which manufacturing
information systems can be transformed for business success. This is described achievable through both a
realisation in the positioning of the organisation relative to technology management, and the related mapping
of human and technological constructs that support information systems related succes
Implementing centralised IT service management: drawing lessons from the public sector
[Abstract]: The IT service management model represents a paradigm shift for IT organisations as it deemphasizes the
management of IT assets and focuses on the provision of quality end-to-end IT services. This paper presents part
of an in-depth study that examines the experience of a government agency, Queensland Health, in the
implementation of a centralised IT service management model based on the ITIL framework. The paper sheds
light on the challenges and breakthroughs, distils a set of critical success factors and offers a learning
opportunity for other organisations. Outsourcing some activities and tool requirements to vendors was seen as
one contributor to success although ensuring effective technology transfer to in-house staff was also necessary.
Another success factor was centralisation of IT services. Commitment of senior management was also crucial as
was a recognition of the need for effective change management to transform the organisational culture to a
service-oriented focus

Negotiating a turnkey system: The vendor's viewpoint
My talk today will be from the viewpoint of a business manager responsible
for product development, product marketing and product service,
while at the same time meeting established goals for profitability. It is
not my intention to give a highly technical or legalistic presentation.
First, I am not qualified to do so, and second, you are more likely to benefit
from understanding the general concepts involved in contracting and
leaving the legal details to counsel.published or submitted for publicatio
