Managing Sustainable Development Programmes is about understanding the difficulties and complexities of large change programmes and projects in both the private and public sectors. The authors' research reveals an extraordinary level of failure in these projects, the analysis of which overturns much of our traditional thinking about project delivery and governance. They turn existing theories on project management on their head, focusing instead on sustainable change and development.\nThe message at its heart is 'don't blame the project leader' but rather look for active ownership of projects; joint knowledge management and sharing with external stakeholders that secure long-term effects. > Project work, driven by competent project leaders drives positive outcomes. Unfortunately these optimistic initial results are often short-sighted with few evaluations of their long-term impact. The research contained in Managing Sustainable Development Programmes reveals an extraordinary level.
