Information management Challenges Limited life (Need to deliver a great games not necessarily the best solutions) Scalability (Rapid incline then decline in resources, whilst managing scope and spend) Sponsorship opportunities (unknown at this stage, so a risk in effort / cost) Communications and change management (paramount to our success, but we will have limited change management windows – so we need an adaptable workforce)
