In this podcast we are going to talk about “Setting up major projects for success”. When it comes to project delivery, the UK’s track record is poor. Too often projects are delivered late, cost more than expected and crucially, they do not always delver the promised outcomes or sufficient value for public investment.

To discuss this problem, the many reasons for it and perhaps some solutions, let me introduce my guest today, Michele Dix. Michele is well placed to offer a view, having spent many years spearheading projects for Transport for London, most recently leading plans for the now shelved Crossrail 2 scheme.

Today Michele is a director of the Major Projects Association, an Non-exec at Crossrail International, a visiting professor at UCL and an ICE Policy Fellow so very much interested in setting up major projects for success.
