One of the key factors in planning the Multinational project was that it should be managed as an equal partnership between the business and IT people (00319). This allowed the business to have ownership of the project (00025) but avoided the problems there can be in handling the technical aspects of a project which is managed solely by the business. A senior person, David, was seconded full-time from the business side who had the additional advantage of having been involved in the previously failed attempt at computerisation by XUK (00003). Senior people were also involved on a part-time basis from Holland and the USA (00025). In the UK the partnership was one of the reasons why phase I was successful.
