Why Big Projects Fail — and How to Give Yours a Better Chance of Success

by Te Wu and Ram B. Misra

 

Summary: Five factors cause massive project failure. Wrong initiatives contradict business logic and produce outcomes that few people want, bring little value, or undershoot advantages because they are difficult to implement. A second factor is unreasonable limits, such as insufficient cash, personnel, time, or other inputs. Undue complexity, when projects span several teams, business divisions, countries, and organizations and suffer volatility, uncertainty, and ambiguity, and poor leadership kill initiatives. Over- or under-management is the final project hurdle. Smart firms should hire project management professionals as senior executives, mandate clear protocols and governance, and empower project managers to avoid these mistakes.
