What are some of the key elements for a successful Implementation?
Executive Belief and Sponsorship The thing always happens that you really believe in; and
the belief in a thing makes it happen. Frank Lloyd Wright (1869 – 1959)
Design must cater for adaptability and resilience Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable
imperative. H. G. Wells (1866 - 1946)
Information must be reliable and trusted by key decision makers Gain a modest reputation for being unreliable and you
will never be asked to do a thing. Paul Theroux (1946- )
Listen to the business
A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something. Wilson Mizner (1876 – 1933)
What implementation approach do we follow at Navigor CRM?
