Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global economy in unprecedented ways since early 2020; a catalyst for changes across every sphere of business and workplace, project management included. This research, via a series of interviews, demonstrates how systemic responses such as localisation, stakeholder assurance, over-ordering and shortened re-sequencing horizons were most effective at alleviating symptomatic issues including supply chain disruption, schedule delay, an altered stakeholder environment, and contractor liquidity.
