- Australian pubsec ICT failures highlighted
- Posted by Gary Flood. Public Technology, 7 December 2011. "Pressure on agencies to deliver more with less and the inability of executives to say 'no' to ministers has led to alarmingly high failure rates of government ICT projects in Australia, a new report claims. The damning report on government ICT projects from the Victorian Ombudsman in Australia says successful delivery of major ICT projects seems to have become 'beyond the wit' of government, despite decades of development of project and systems development methodologies, gateway reviews, risk-management and procurement frameworks, and major project governance processes..."

- by Reid Sexton. The Age, November 23, 2011. "The Victorian Ombusdman has released a scathing report this morning into the state's handling of major information and communication technology (ICT) projects. The report, which examined the controversial myki transport smartcard and a proposed Victoria Police database, found that the projects routinely failed to meet expectations and time frames and all ran over budget. "Too often there was muted acceptance that all ICT-enabled projects go wrong," Ombudsman George Brouwer found.

- Own motion investigation into ICT-enabled projects - in pdf format (673kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). Victorian Ombudsman in consultation with the Victorian Auditor-General, November 2011. Ordered to be printed Victorian government printer, Session 2010 - 11. P.P. No. 68 "... 2. In Victoria over the last few years, in our respective roles as Auditor-General and Ombudsman, we have tabled in Parliament a number of reports relating to ICT-enabled projects. These reports have identified significant shortcomings in the public sector’s management of such projects and have included numerous recommendations about how such management can be improved. 3. Despite these reports, we see little sign of lessons learnt in the public sector. The evidence to date is that the public sector is not managing ICT-enabled projects effectively, as demonstrated by the current difficulties that Victoria is facing in this area and the increasingly adverse public comment about major ICT-enabled projects. A new and more disciplined approach is required if the government is to avoid being faced with continuing cost overruns and failures to deliver..."
