Excerpt from Episode 8 – “The Conscious Project Leader”

Projects which have been concluded successfully have received very little publicity in comparison to the Projects that have gone wrong. This has led to a general feeling and even acceptance that most projects do go wrong and therefore it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. It leaves one with notions such as ‘the right to fail’ or ‘fail early’. Therefore it would be important and a very good thing to ensure that more stories of ‘Project Success’ are highlighted.
