 Staying on the Ball—Consistency Instead of Severity!Matthias Kolbusa ()
Chapter 7 in Implementation Management, 2013, pp 129-142 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Many implementation projects do not succeed as planned because the towel is thrown in too quickly when difficulties arise. The necessary consistency in action is often lacking, both where the results to be achieved and also the time frames in which things should be completed are concerned. Since the course for successful implementation momentum is charted at the outset it is very difficult to turn things around once something has been drawn up incorrectly. Over the course of the project, and particularly in the final phase of the process, the composure and calm of the outset become an (in actual fact) unnecessary, inefficient hectic pace. The resistance and difficulties which occur and are anything but unusual quickly dampen the original expectations. The participants settle for less and are happy to have achieved a reasonable final result despite the increasing pressure toward the end of the project.
