Why Tech Projects Fail: The SPEAR Method with Dustin Domerese

66% of technology projects fail. And of those that do launch, 70% never deliver what was promised. After two decades of implementing systems for over 500 organizations, Dustin Domerese knows exactly why — and it has very little to do with the software.
In this episode, Dustin breaks down the real reasons digital transformation goes wrong, introduces his SPEAR framework for strategic technology decisions, and explains why AI will only ever automate your dysfunction if the foundation isn't right first.
