Project Initiation: Set up for success http://bit.ly/2wu9B9e

1. Tuesday09October2018@APMNWBranch
APM North West branch has this year collaborated with the
APM Systems Thinking SIG to develop another distinctive, educational
and interactive day conference, different to any other you would have
attended.
More often than not, a project that is not set up effectively at the outset
struggles to achieve its objectives. Like building a house, if the foundations
of the project, which are developed, defined and set at project start up are
not robust, the delivery of the rest of the project will be more challenging,
acrimonious, less collaborative and increasingly contractual in nature.

The importance of project initiation is exemplified by the National Audit Office findings following the review
of 40 government projects: “One clear lesson we have learned from the evidence base which our back
catalogue provides is that the quality of project initiation is highly predictive of project success”.
