England and Wales Cricket Board once handled IT delivery the old-fashioned way: business cases in triplicate, opaque approvals, requirements gathering, packaged solution search—the waterfall works. See why and how they changed IT delivery for the modern world.

13. Challenges
18/10/2018
Only do this once or twice per year
Bowlers then go to their clubs, and teams and lose touch with NCPC
Difficult ongoing dialogue with player and coaches
What the NCPC do is seen as ‘Rocket Science’

14. Idea
18/10/2018
Can we put all of this information in an App?
Can we share it with players and coaches year-round?
Can we jointly create player development plans and collaborate?
Can we increase understanding of what the NCPC are doing?

21. Conclusions
18/10/2018
Better athletes
Fewer injuries
Lower costs
Faster development time to market/implementation
Better engagement of athletes with leading edge research
Better engagement of coaches with leading edge research

22. Observations
18/10/2018
Everyone wants an app and the evidence-base/justification is weak
Adherence to the process is everything
This is easy to do in some parts of the organisation, not in others
The ‘Amazonification’ of the ECB
