Description

Making Sense of Project Realities by Charles Smith, published by Routledge, addresses the critical disconnect between project management theory and real-world practice. This groundbreaking book explains why organisations frequently apply methodology inappropriately, overlook complexity and ambiguity, and alienate stakeholders-resulting in poor performance on major business and infrastructure projects. Smith provides convincing explanations for these failures and describes the complex, human-centred approaches needed to bridge the gap between what theory prescribes and what actually works in practice. Essential reading for project managers, business leaders and anyone responsible for delivering large-scale initiatives.

Charles Smith explains how inappropriate methodology application and failure to account for complexity undermine project success.

The Routledge publication addresses stakeholder alienation and poor performance patterns in major business and infrastructure projects.
