A new look at how projects can be successfully aligned with the desired direction; how sufficient, appropriate and valid information can begathered at the front-end; how information can be analysed; and finally how decisions can be made. Each chapter of the book is written by an expert in thefield, and each chapter speaks for itself. However, some key themes run throughout the book. These include: the need for alignment between organisational strategy and the project concept; dealing with complexity, in particular the systemicity and interrelatedness withinproject decisions; consideration of the ambiguity implicit in all major projects; taking into account psychological and politicalbiases within estimation of benefits and costs; consideration of the social geography and politics within decision-making groups; and preparation for theturbulence within the project environment, including the maintenance of strategic alignment.
