Success of major government projects depends on multi-organisation collaboration and shared stakeholder vision.
Conclusion
Although it is often the case that a single government department has ultimate accountability for delivery of a major project, it is often the case that multiple departments as well other stakeholders and organisations will be involved in delivery and in ensuring that value is delivered. Indeed, success depends on many organisations working together to create a shared vision through delivery and beyond. The C&AG’s report includes examples of where this has gone well. These include the developer’s masterplan for the Greenwich Peninsula which had widespread support from stakeholders including local authorities and the operator of the O2 Arena, and the Hartree Centre’s involvement of industry and academia in forums focused on getting value from the facility.11
