Digital Project Survival Guide

88 practical tips to help you get a digital project funded, built and adopted inside a large organisation

About you

You're in a function or department of a large organisation and had a great idea to solve a problem through a digital initiative. You are going to have to work with cross-organisation functions to bring your vision to life. But how do you start? Or, you are mid project and looking for tips to help you move forward.

Why this guide exists

1. To help you succeed. I've written this guide to help you survive small bumps and big waves until you succeed. These aren't theoretical tips. They're the real, lived lessons I wish I could go back in time and tell myself. Beyond technical advice, they will help you on a personal level with resilience, bravery, energy levels and in昀؀uence. Even a single insight from this content could help guide your initiative a little closer towards success.

2. The AI wave has enabled more innovation. AI is enabling more people than ever before to try to solve problems with digital solutions...but this doesn't mean they are equipped with the awareness of the critical elements of digital project success.

I've spent over two decades consulting and leading digital programmes in large organisations around the world.- One platform I built and piloted locally within an organisation was later adopted globally, used by hundreds of thousands of people across more than 100 countries, and featured in the Harvard Business Review. I hope this guide helps you survive the bumps and make your vision a reality.
