Effective policy making is one of the keys to the success of any project and in this book the author examines the factors in the decision-making process that influence the outcome, focusing particularly on planning for successful projects. The first few chapters deal with projects in the context of business risk before moving on to a discussion of investment and the management of risk through financial and contractual arrangements. Project management techniques are covered later in the text but it is concerned mainly with attitudes to management and project 'culture' which, when appropriately chosen and diligently applied, are central to effective project leadership. Based on the author's extensive experience in the petrochemical and related industries, and unique in its focus on projects policy-making and leadership, this book provides an invaluable insight into the key factors that influence the success or failure of any project, over and above the practical management. Compulsory reading for anyone involved in project planning and management.
