About the book

By being uniquely placed, this book shares my rich and proven tacit and explicit knowledge of a solution structured in 10 principles that addresses global project overrun, an issue pushed into the shadows that is destroying economic and company prosperity and wasting the world’s resources and talent.

The waste currently equates to some US $ 4 trillion annually.

This book identifies the deadly project sins the world has made a habit of making and addresses the question boards around the world responsible for these project failures find themselves asking time and time again, ‘why when we have identified the majority of these mistakes, errors and inefficiencies, addressed them in our systems and organisational design do we keep making these same issues that result in failure’

The book reverse engineers the sins to form 10 project delivery principles which are explained in detail and supported through the delivery of a virtual Ultra Large Project that engages you in a solution that spans the complete project life cycle covering all practices from the boardroom to the coalface.

The book is more than a comprehensive solution to a global problem that provides the project delivery world a great resource, it is a call to action for all involved in project delivery to address the root causes of project failure by adopting the appropriate mindsets and applying large business leadership to the art and science of project delivery that move teams quickly to high-performance through great routines and practices.
