#214 Delivering a Megaproject

When a major public infrastructure project is announced often a brand new organisation is set up that is tasked with delivering the project. These organisations can be very small and not have the experience delivering a major project that only a few people have. In the past organisations like these have hired a programme or project manager, who takes over the delivery of the project. However this model cuts out the owner organisation from making key decisions on the project’s delivery. Now a new model for megaprojects delivery is emerging. One that has successfully delivered major projects across Europe and focuses on collaboration between the client and delivery organisation. In this episode we hear from three experienced project managers about the new delivery partner model that has been used on major projects like the London 2012 Olympics, Crossrail and HS2.
