Decision-Making in Organisations

Chapter 5 in Project Governance, 2012, pp 175-220 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As previous chapters have discussed, project governance provides the management structures, policies, processes, roles and responsibilities which help ensure that (a) organisations choose projects which support their business strategy; (b) the objectives of business investment are translated into the right project objectives, activities and tasks; and (c) the project management structures and processes are in place such that implementation can be managed in line with objectives and business expectations. All of this is fundamentally about the organisational capability to make the right decisions at key points in the life of a project — where what is ‘right’ is a complex and uncertain matter on which multiple stakeholders will hold many different views. The effectiveness of project governance can therefore be seen in terms of how it supports organisational decision-making around projects.
