Megaproject governance inspired by F1
This workshop will show you how to succeed by getting governance right on a multi-billion dollar project. The workshop follows the talk on changing the approach on the Crossrail project (at the time the largest construction project in Europe) in which Rob and Mark share their experiences, explain what went wrong and what they had to change to successfully relaunch the project. Drawing on their knowledge from this and other large projects, and studying the techniques used in Formula 1 racing, they eventually developed a new approach to deliver all types of large and complex projects.
The workshop focuses on the framework and gives more space for discussion.
Next Generation Delivery: How a new way of thinking helped recover Crossrail?
It’s not uncommon to hear about major, complex programmes that are overrunning and overspending, despite being led by experienced individuals with programme management certifications. The traditional approach to programme delivery has remained largely unchanged since the space race, so it begs the question: is it time to explore a different approach?
In this presentation, we will share our experience and failures in delivering one of the world’s largest engineering programmes, Crossrail. We will delve into what went wrong and how we pivoted to recover the programme. Drawing from our learnings from this and other large programmes, as well as studying the techniques used in Formula 1 racing, we have developed a new approach to delivering all types of large, complex programmes.
