Synopsis
Cobb’s Paradox states that “We know why projects fail, we know how to prevent their failure – so why do they still fail?”.
This presentation describes the barriers to implementing and embedding good practice in project and programme management.
A summary of the presentation from 2023 will be followed by developments from the last two years, and how AI is changing the landscape.
