Based on my 15 years' experience as a sponsor, I know projects are never easy. And when things go wrong, the financial and human cost is substantial. This book is a must-read, full of practical lessons that will help any existing or aspiring sponsor and their teams improve project outcomes. - Tim Mitchell-Adams, Business Executive

With the rise of the Project Economy, sponsors and senior leaders must rapidly increase their project knowledge and competencies.
