Programme and project success rates are doggedly low. Transformative improvement is possible with data enabled investment decisions. This event seeks to identify methods and tools to prevent the seldom discussed topic of strategic misrepresentation (some would call it lying).

Welcome to the APM 2023 event series, where we will be discussing strategic misrepresentation, a topic critical to project management success.

Research shows that only 0.5% of programmes and projects deliver to time, cost, and benefits, with 50% of large projects failing due to strategic misrepresentation. With such a high failure rate, it's essential to understand the causes and drivers of this issue.
 

During event 1 in February 2023, we asked 180 attendees about strategic misrepresentation, and the results were concerning. Audience scores were the lowest of the day, with many investment committees not recognising strategic misrepresentation as a problem. The audience also lacked confidence in their ability to mitigate this issue.

Join us for this event in the "Effective governance, unlocking data and project success" series, where we will focus on the definition of strategic misrepresentation and its motivators. Our goal is to explore why people misrepresent and define a language for discussing misrepresentation.

This is a joint event between the APM Governance and Enabling Change Specific Interest Groups, supporting the project data analytics taskforce principle that "all projects are data designed and data enabled."

By attending, you'll gain the following benefits:

• Conceptualise project success problems.
• Understand strategic misrepresentation.
• Learn about the behavioural drivers of strategic misrepresentation.

We invite you to join us in developing your understanding of the leading cause of project failure and contribute to the discussion on how effective governance can help organisations utilise data and enable successful projects.

Don't miss out on this critical event!
