Stories from the Machine: Digital Transformation's Biggest Disasters, Unpacked
Why do 55 to 75% of digital transformations still fail after 30 years, with 189% average cost overruns and only 23% ever considered successful? Because failure isn't an accident. It's engineered. Join me for a live, story-driven discussion straight from my book Welcome to the Machine. I'm pulling back the curtain on the real disasters, confessions, and cover-ups behind the world's most expensive tech failures, and the system of misaligned incentives that keeps vendors, consultants, and customers locked in the same losing game. We'll unpack the stories behind the headlines: 🔥 Lidl's €500M decision to spend a fortune staying exactly the same 🔥 Target Canada's $7B collapse when the data was wrong 🔥 Queensland Health going live with 14 known showstoppers 🔥 IBM Watson's $62M AI mirage 🔥 Waste Management's $500M lawsuit against its vendor Plus confessions from my own years inside the machine, including the $1.5M "objective" evaluation that was rigged from day one. Several stories. Countless lessons. Every one of them avoidable. You don't have to beat the machine. But you do have to understand it. 📅 Save your spot and bring your questions. This one's interactive. #DigitalTransformation #ERP #WelcomeToTheMachine #ERPFailure #ChangeManagement #EnterpriseSoftware #DigitalStrategy #TechLeadership #CIO #ITLeadership #ConsultingConfessions #BusinessTransformation #ThirdStageConsulting #EricKimberling
