  • The Megaproject Paradox Series of Articles

    This series of articles is designed to assist "Owners of Megaprojects" with some Megaproject "Lessons Learned". The lessons come from experience across the Life Cycle of some of history’s most complex and sophisticated Megaprojects. The lessons are focused on helping Megaproject "Owners", and therefore the Non-owner Supply Chain involved in the Megaproject, achieve the world's best practice benchmark for successful execution of Megaprojects.
