Chapter 12 in Ready for Change?, 2012, pp 221-241 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I was driven to research the subject of project management, and in particular the management of project management performance, as a result of my experience as a senior project manager working on large-scale construction projects in India’s oil industry. Such projects were, and continue to be, inevitably characterized by technical complexity, environmental and social sensitivity, capital intensiveness and the involvement of many stakeholders (i.e. client, consultants, contractors, suppliers at its most basic). Delivery to schedule, to cost, to scope and to quality is never assured. In fact, there are many instances of project failure.
