How can early warning signs be identified and acted upon, so that problems are avoided and projects are successful in delivering the expected value for their owners and other stakeholders? What signals should we look for? Looking for early warning signs takes more than a keen eye.

This international report identifies early warning signs in highly complex projects and offers tips on how to combat them.
