Christophe Gras, Director Hortis GRC, (information systems consulting, agile software development) in Petit-Lancy, answered to the question in French: “What percentage of ideas are actually carried out in your company?”. He first answers with questions. When is an idea carried out? Transformed? Conceptualized? And for whom: for oneself, for the client? Then he says, there is a lot of talk about ideas and projects, but only 10% to 20 % are carried out.
