ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Governance is never easy and failure to address critical governance attributes can cripple many complex projects.

There is a tendency to underestimate the level of effort required to shape governance arrangements to enable a probability of success and minimisation of harm when overseeing complex projects. Large organisations have standing governance structures that mirror good corporate oversight models which routinely deliver effective decisions. As in many other aspects of launching and executing complex endeavours, there is reluctance to deviate from what has traditionally worked well.

Observation has indicated that governance is one of the critical enabling factors to navigating complex projects and that there are a number of important attributes worthy of pursuit.

AIM

The aim of this webinar is to present perspectives on important governance model elements when addressing complex projects that, while common sense, are easily dismissed as no different from existing organisational oversight. They are presented as a set of expectations that should be embraced as priorities because while most are not unique to complex projects, they are on occasion critical to achieving better outcomes in complexity.
