A project can finish on time, stay within budget, and deliver everything promised. Yet the organization may still be disappointed with the results.

Why does this happen?

Sometimes the problem isn't how well people execute. It's how organizations set priorities, measure performance, and make decisions.

In my latest article, I look at why good ex*****on doesn't always produce the expected results, and three changes that can help.

I'd be interested in hearing how others have experienced this.

Why organizations can deliver the plan and still miss the outcome. PMI's 2026 Pulse of the Profession report found that 31% of complex projects did not achieve the full scope of their intended benefits.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT BOOTCAMP

You don’t need the title “Project Manager” to be leading projects.

If you’ve ever been asked to organize an initiative, coordinate people, manage competing priorities, solve unexpected problems, or deliver an important result, you’re already doing project work.

The question is: Do you have a practical, repeatable way to lead it successfully?

We’ve just announced a 360 Degrees Project Management Bootcamp, an interactive 8-week program, taught 1- evening per week, designed to help professionals plan more effectively, lead with confidence, and turn important ideas into measurable results.
This is not a course built around memorizing terminology.
We’ll work through realistic situations, practical exercises, useful templates, and the decisions project leaders face every day.

Over eight weeks, you’ll learn how to:

✅ Define clear goals, outcomes, and measures of success
✅ Build practical plans that people can understand and use
✅ Manage scope, schedules, costs, risks, and changing priorities
✅ Engage stakeholders and lead productive project teams
✅ Choose between predictive, Agile, and hybrid approaches
✅ Make better decisions when the original plan no longer fits reality
✅ Deliver value, not simply complete tasks

The program is ideal for:
• New and aspiring project managers
• Professionals already managing projects without formal training
• Team leaders, coordinators, analysts, and operations professionals
• Entrepreneurs and business owners leading important initiatives
• Anyone preparing for greater project or leadership responsibility

The program will be delivered live, in English, with opportunities to ask questions, apply the concepts, and learn alongside other professionals.

💻 Format: Live virtual sessions

Places will be limited to keep the program interactive.

Why do so many "well run" projects still fail to deliver value?

A meta analysis by Alexander Budzier, a Fellow in Management Practice at Oxford's Saïd Business School, of more than 22,000 capital investment projects across 126 countries found roughly half delivered on budget or better. Only 8 percent delivered on both budget and schedule. Once the promised benefits were factored in, the success rate dropped to about 0.5 percentone, project in every 200 to 250.

A project can look healthy, right up until the moment everyone realizes it has failed. The schedule is green. The budget is under control. The team is closing action items and producing exactly what the plan called for.Then the product launches... and customers don't use it.The new process goes live...

The organizations that thrive over the next decade will certainly use better technology; they'll almost certainly use more AI. But those won't be the reasons they succeed.

They'll succeed because they cultivate something much harder to copy; they create clarity where others create complexity. Their people understand the mission. Their projects support the strategy. Their measures reflect what matters. Their meetings end with decisions instead of more meetings.

Competitive advantage doesn't come from having more information; it comes from seeing the right path through the complexity. Finding the signal through the noise.

There was a time when the companies with the most information usually won. That made sense; information was expensive. Market research took months. Reports arrived by mail. Data lived in filing cabinets, and finding the right document often depended on knowing who had the key.Today, information is a...
