ABSTRACT

This presentation will take a data driven and experiential approach as to why projects fail.  Key drivers for project failures and their root causes are addressed.

Best practices to support project success based on real world examples will be presented. 

This presentation will include lots of anecdotes or “Company XYZ” examples that make for an interesting experience.

As a project management consultant, Pete Luan has reviewed hundreds of projects and in excess of $100B in capital expenditures.  He has interviewed and worked with approximately 3000 project team members and senior management associated with these projects.  This presentation is the result of this body of work.
