Project Sponsorship

'The writing is in a good, readable style. The author comes across as personable and knowledgeable in his subject. The book should be easy to dip into, and is likely to be a handy reference source.' - Graham Dalton, CEO, Highways Agency, London '...Having read it I can confirm that indeed the book is comprehensive, the contents cover a wide remit, and there is a section on every activity seemingly relevant to the Sponsor...As a practising risk manager and a former project manager, the book is written in an accessible manner and is even handed in its emphasis on the very important areas for the Sponsor to focus...' Mike Walker, Principal, RedAmber Consulting 'Having previously had the pleasure of working with David on some very challenging projects, I was delighted to be asked to review his book...David's text meets a real need. Effective project sponsorship is an essential discipline for all but the simplest projects, and can be the difference between a success and a high profile and expensive disaster. Sponsors...must be both the guardians and translators of the interest of investors and funders. Through cogent analysis; reference to apposite examples; and a well structured explanation of practical techniques David has provided an excellent guide to the realities of effective project sponsorship. Reviewing this text has provided me with a valuable opportunity to reflect on best practice and how to apply it. I have no hesitation in recommending it to others.' - Bill Reeve, Director, Rail Delivery at Transport Scotland
