Leading High-performing Project Teams

This pressure is especially acute for complex capital-intensive projects with long lead times in the energy, technology, pharmaceutical and construction industries.

Based on fifteen years experience advising leaders of large-scale project teams, we emphasize six factors that increase a project's likelihood for high-performance.

1.  Expect project leaders to be business leaders

2.  Choose contract terms that reward overall performance

3.  Define leadership responsibilities prior to mobilization

4.  Commit early to an explicit process for change management

5.  Manage with daily focus on safety, quality and commissioning

6.  Conduct periodic assessment of overall project performance

These six keys are helping Iris Learning clients plan and execute successful projects that create value for investors, owners and end-users.
