How Leaders Can Shift the Odds on Large Projects

Less than 1% of major projects finish on time, on budget, and deliver their expected benefits. Yet organizations continue to invest billions in complex projects where cost overruns, schedule delays, and unrealized benefits are treated as unavoidable.

The Oxford Megaproject Summit brings together three leading organizations in project forecasting, decision analysis, and organizational performance to examine why major projects succeed or fail and what leaders can do to improve the odds.

Hosted by Hubbard Decision Research, Oxford Global Projects, and Distinctive Performance, this exclusive two day event combines research, practical methods, and real world experience from some of the world’s leading experts in project management.

What You’ll Learn

Throughout the summit, you’ll explore:

• Why major projects fail and why empirical evidence consistently outperforms expert judgment
• Practical approaches to improving forecasting, governance, and project risk management
• The hidden organizational and leadership factors that shape project success and failure
• Better ways to identify uncertainty before it becomes costly surprises
• Proven methods for improving project outcomes through better decision making
