By Completing an Initial Investigation Over a Short Duration and Before Consulting Fees Are Incurred
When he was promoted to be one of Touché Ross & Co’s Senior System Architects, Al Enzweiler put this quote from Managing the System Development Process into every proposal he submitted to a prospective client.
“Initial investigations are usually short – taking perhaps a few days, or at most, a few weeks, to complete. The steering committee reviews the results and decides whether the project should proceed to the Feasibility Study. Members of the committee must have a broad understanding of the company to be able to weed out inappropriate requests at an early stage. Terminating a project at the initial investigation stage obviously minimizes the expenditure of corporate resources.”
