Chapter Calendar

In today’s dynamic project environment, governance can make or break delivery success. While projects remain central to achieving strategic outcomes, fewer than 55% globally meet their objectives - and ineffective governance is often a key culprit. Without clear decision-making arrangements, defined accountabilities, and structured oversight, projects can quickly descend into chaos.

In this session, Adrian Morey, co-author of the global best practice guide Project, Programme and Portfolio Governance (P3G), will share practical solutions that bring governance to life. Drawing on real-world examples, Adrian will demonstrate how fit-for-purpose governance underpins project success. Whether you're an executive, project manager, or PMO leader, you’ll leave with insights and actions to build governance that works.
