Chapter 7 in Embracing the Black Swan, 2023, pp 91-103 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents as a case study the delivery of a major high-tech engineering railway portfolio in which the author was involved as a project manager. The requirements of such projects are determined by a range of different stakeholders, influenced by a variety of technical, commercial, and financial players, and regulated by several social, legal, and watchdog bodies. Other factors such as project environment, resources, and objectives also come heavily into play. The makeup and interactions of those elements and entities, which are not always clear-cut or well-defined, were extremely complex in the project in question. In this chapter, those complexities are discussed and broadly categorized into four groups—Process, Organizational, Environmental, and Technological, and the organization’s ability to deal with them is addressed.
