Haser Consulting’s DeliversSM, our IT-enabled business initiative success program, helps companies achieve 7-figure project goals and avoid company-threatening disasters.
Learn how building in success elements from the get-go (such as asking the right questions upfront) can bring major initiatives in on time and on budget, even when your projects are ambitious and complex.
Dear Business Leader,
Are you experiencing some of these challenges?
- You’re having trouble with your IT implementation partner.
- An essential project has missed a key deadline or is over budget. The team requested more money.
- The business case for the project hasn’t held up.
- After putting a new system in, employees don’t use it. Instead they’re doing workarounds.
You can solve the problem of projects that fall behind, cost too much, and don’t deliver the benefits your company really needs.
You need an approach that reflects reality and that leadership, employees and customers can be confident in. You need a program that raises conflicts early and gets them resolved quickly. You need a methodology where team learns key project planning and delivery skills so that they deliver not only the current project, but many more projects in the future.
If your company’s track record is one of costing too much and delivering benefits late and less than what’s required, Haser Consulting can help. Using our DeliversSM IT-enabled business initiative success program, we help your company to realize the results, you need from your major initiatives.
Imagine feeling confident about your big
IT-enabled business initiatives.
Stop and envision what’s possible when your initiatives are managed with a process that’s consistently produced 7-figure benefits for other corporations.
Whether you are getting multiple divisions onto one ERP platform… going digital (IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotic automation)…. or providing supply chain visibility, picture a future Friday evening as you leave work. You reflect on what’s happened in recent weeks:
- Employees and customers are excited because your company developed a clear vision and identified who’d be impacted by your big initiative, and put communications and training in place right from the start
- You’ve ensured that your IT vendors are performing well, rather than passively depending on vendors performing
- You’re a digital leader in your industry
- You identified the crucial few issues, and quickly put plans in place to address them so they don’t turn into a crisis
- You can expect to hit the key numbers for the project
- Your team is learning key project planning and delivery skills, so that they’ll be able to successfully deliver future projects too
- Your discussions with your senior leadership team can focus more on the future than on current issues.
So you start your weekend with confidence and peace of mind.
To deliver projects with the anticipated benefits, on time and on budget isn’t easy. And few companies have all the capabilities required.
Just a guess… some or all of the following statements could have been written by you:
- “We really need a new IT solution (like an ERP or MES), but I am a little gun-shy after hearing so much from other companies how disruptive and expensive it is.”
- “There’s been so much cross-functional friction that now our business units work around IT rather than through IT.”
- “We have an important project that is off track or likely to derail unless the right actions are taken.”
You can solve the problem of projects that fall behind, cost too much, and don’t deliver the benefits your company really needs.

Why I Developed Haser Consulting’s DeliversSM Approach
Your company isn’t alone in grappling with the challenge of completing ambitious, complex IT initiatives on time, on budget, and with the expected business outcomes. It’s not easy! There are dozens of major factors to include in your planning and management. And if you miss some, you can wind up behind your peer companies and competitors. Your business can be disrupted, and you can’t respond in time. Also, it means you are not spending enough time where you add the most value and have the most fun.
Here’s the good news: I’ve spent years working out a structured, proven process that avoids those problems and delivers successful projects and business outcomes.
