Definition of key drivers for project success regarding the General Data Protection Regulation

Abstract

In the context of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), organisational governance must consider data privacy concerns and regulations. This will avoid illegal situations, the related fines, damage to organisational reputation or, even, temporary/definitive limitation on processing activities. An innovative conceptual model is proposed to deliver the necessary change that addresses GDPR concerns based on the enablers concept. Moreover, project success is (re)examined to include stakeholders perceptions, in addition to organisational effectiveness, which is defined by the respect for legal requirements and by demonstration of compliance with the Regulation at an acceptable cost, i.e. the typical internal deliverables.
