How to lead successful

place-based projects

A short online course that will help you to plan for and deliver successful place-based projects.

Why do this online course?

Too often, we rush to finish a project to meet a deadline, only to see it not funded, opposed by the local community, subject to cost blowouts and/or forgotten in a fast-moving world.

According to studies, some 60–90% of strategic plans never fully launch. The causes of derailment vary widely. While poor implementation is one key reason, the strategy preparation and design process itself can be the real problem, according to the Harvard Business Review.

Conventional project management methods are generally designed for and well-suited to capital works and infrastructure-focused projects. But, these approaches don't always work well in more social, complex and fluid situations, such as main street revitalisation, neighborhood improvement, economic development and community building.
