In these ten articles, we challenge the orthodox view of project “value”, what it is and how it can be measured. We discuss a range of value delivery and management issues – including: - Why “value” requires a different mindset and models of thinking - “The elephant in the room” – why, despite all the improvements in project methods over the last four decades, we still struggle with the lack of delivered, measured benefits - Ten easy ways to destroy the value of your project - And more. Board members, CIOs, executives and project specialists will all benefit from this frank, practical advice on how to manage and deliver value from project investments. And btw, if you cannot manage the value on projects, you should not be doing them at all!
