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)
