| The management of major programs that are considered to be expensive and transformational has always been considered a challenge for the managers and program proponents world-wide. These programs very often suffer from cost and time overruns as well as benefit shortfall; a phenomenon that according to Professor Bent Flyvbjerg of University of Oxford is the “Iron Law of Major Programs”, Hong Kong probably is not the exception. Dr. Chan draws his practical experience of managing major programs over the past 20 years (a prolonged sabbatical) as well as his recent studies and researches at Oxford University in analyzing the difficulties and challenges faced by major program managers in Hong Kong. The differences between project management and program management as well as the political impact on the running of major programs over the past years in Hong Kong will also be discussed. Solutions and ways to tackle the ‘Black Swan’ and the Iron Law are to be explored and hopefully a ‘Master Builder’ to the rescue can be identified. |
