How big projects go wrong

Why do major projects fail? Explore common risks, warning signs and practical steps to prevent delay, disputes and cost overruns.

Major projects rarely fail because of a single issue. More often, problems develop gradually through decisions made during procurement, pre-construction, contract administration and project delivery. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to delay, cost overruns, disputes and, ultimately, project failure. In this session, our experts will explore why major projects go wrong and the challenges that commonly emerge. Drawing on experience from both project delivery and dispute resolution, we will share practical lessons from projects that have gone off track, examining the causes, consequences and warning signs that clients should look out for. Join us for a practical discussion on how to identify and mitigate risk before problems escalate.
