A chapter in Project Governance, 2012, pp 277-281 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We started this book by saying that ‘Large projects are complex undertakings which represent major investments. Commonly, significant problems arise later on because of failure at the start of a project in terms of establishing appropriate governance, choosing the concept, analysing the proposal and environment and maximising the utility of the investment, all within complex and political decision-making structures. While project management to “do the project right” has for long been the priority, project governance to ensure that “the right project is done” has been a secondary concern among many practitioners and is underrepresented in literature’.
