Enterprise platform implementations fail at a predictable rate - not because the technology doesn't work, but because organizations never spend two weeks figuring out what they need the platform to do. The Argument makes the case for a structured discovery method built specifically for authenticated enterprise systems: the Action Impact Method. Written for the executive, the program director, and the senior leader responsible for transformation, this book gives decision-makers a way of seeing - the ability to walk into any vendor pitch, any status review, any kickoff meeting and tell the difference between a team with clarity and a team with a nice deck. Twenty years of enterprise platform implementation across healthcare, higher education, high-tech, government, and Fortune 100 organizations. Book One of the AIM Series.
