The Power of megaprojects

Megaprojects – large, one-off projects that rely on collaborative working between temporary partners – pull together different organisations to ensure successful delivery. This makes their delivery a very different proposition to other types of project.

There are often substantial risks involved, due to size, scope and complexity. But megaprojects also drive innovation around technology, process and problem-solving.

This paper is based on discussions that took place at APM’s Windsor Project Summit, featuring contributions from the experts leading some of the UK’s biggest megaprojects, including the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, which is the government centre of expertise for project delivery. It shares insights on set-up, governance, managing complexity, learning from other projects and knowing what success looks like.

This latest white paper explores how organisations can foster better integration between project teams and the C-Suite, to make project management a strategic asset.

This paper in the Windsor Summit Series shares insights from subject matter experts on how businesses can gain value from AI and use it to improve project delivery.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining strategy, decision-making and execution for business leaders and project professionals. But how should people actually use it to improve outcomes – and without losing the human touch?
