Never allow a person to tell you no who doesnt
have the power to say yes.  Eleanor Roosevelt

PROJECT GOVERNANCE

• What structures do you have for sharing project
  information with stakeholders?

It is not only what we do, but also what we do
not do, for which we are accountable.-  Moliere

Questions?
I have witnessed boards that continued to waste
money on doomed projects because no one was
prepared to admit they were failures, take the
blame and switch course.  Luke Johnson

Questions?
Know when to cut your losses if necessary. Dont
let your desire to succeed be the enemy of good
judgment. If Napoleon had left Moscow
immediately, he may have returned with a
salvageable army.
