Sponsors – guide, guardian or guru?

The centrality of governance in the conduct of projects is now generally agreed. Where there is less understanding, is how exactly a project sponsor should carry out the various roles and responsibilities they have.

Distilled from thousands of sponsor interactions this session explores how the project mission provides the sponsor with a mechanism to fulfil the governance role, what’s good, what’s essential, and what can safely be ignored.

Being a good sponsor is more than having a good network, being a decisive decision-maker and resolving issues incisively, its being able to ask exactly the right question at the right time and recognising when it has been answered. The approach described in this session equips the sponsor with that capability: what are the killer questions that every sponsor must ask?
