About the Book

Ultra-large capital projects are the building blocks of the world's infrastructure, and with scale, complexity in delivery grows exponentially and risks are unparalleled, which has resulted in the average global project scorecard showing a 30-40% overrun in cost and time. This equates to a waste of some US $4 trillion annually. This book identifies the deadly project sins the world has made a habit of committing and addresses the question boards around the world responsible for these project failures find themselves asking time and time again, 'why, when we have identified the majority of these mistakes, errors and inefficiencies, addressed them in our systems and organisational design, do we keep making these same issues that result in failure?' The book reverse-engineers the sins to form 10 project delivery principles that are explained in detail and supported through the delivery of a virtual Ultra-Large Project that engages all readers in a solution that spans the complete project life cycle, covering all practices from the boardroom to the coalface. The book is more than a comprehensive solution to a global problem; it is a call to action for all involved in project delivery to address the root causes of project failure by adopting the appropriate mindsets and building robust practices and routines into project delivery.

About the Author :
Mark’s career started at 14, working as a boilermaker, fitter and toolmaker on small projects, and in parallel, he continued his education through to completing degrees in mining and mechanical engineering. With that education and experience, he rapidly progressed to leadership roles in the mining and construction industries, reaching the boardroom at 30. Responsible for a portfolio of major capital projects as the principal contractor, Mark was exposed to and became a specialist in project turnaround and recovery. He learned early about the deadly project sins that derail projects and their goals and objectives. In the decades that followed, and seeking and thriving on complex challenges, Mark found a home in dealing with the unparalleled risks of delivering $Billion ultra-large projects. With CEO qualities and judgement and the acquired art and science of project delivery, Mark established and built both an owner’s representative company and a principal contractor business. Both companies were mid-tier and mid-size but competed with the tier ones; for compliance and performance and by being nimble and fast to act, they gained a reputation across project sites as the benchmark contractor clients and advisors pointed to. The global commodity price crash in 2014 redirected Mark’s energy and passion into assembling and codifying his complete project delivery knowledge with the objective of mitigating the deadly project sins the world has made a habit of committing. This book is one of the ways he intends to share this knowledge with the world.
