We believe that our report provides a timely ‘wake-up call’ to New Zealand organisations, demonstrating that effective project management is a critical competitive differentiator, and highlighting some approaches through which some New Zealand businesses are out-performing the competition.

Dowload Project Management Survey

• There has been a continued and significant increase in project activity in the past four years across all sectors.
• However failure rates are also increasing – with survey results showing that only one-third of projects are delivering the desired outcomes.
• The type of projects New Zealand organisations are currently focusing on include growth and efficiency initiatives, developing information technology and to support organisational change.
• However, leading change in the organisation is the most lacking skill in project management professionals today.
• Only 29% of projects are delivering to budget and only a fifth of projects are consistently delivering on their planned benefits.  These results represent a dramatic waste of resources in NZ businesses.
• Whilst most projects have active and engaged sponsors, only 10% are seen as providing extremely effective governance activities.
