Extremely common problem, especially in the public and non-profit sectors. So much money wasted on failed IT implementations.
On the other hand, you also have organizations that waste massive amounts of money because they're struggling to maintain obsolete legacy systems, so it's a Scylla and Charybdis situation.
I'm not sure which is worse. Both situations tend to interfere with an organization's mission. Both situations expose an organization to a lot of unnecessary risk.
And both situations have a tendency to degenerate into something resembling bailing water out of a slowly sinking lifeboat. Upper management doesn't see through the complexity, so they don't hold leaders to account for their bad decisions until something catastrophic happens. (And sometimes not even then!)
