  3. Research into Current Status Ring 3 Ulven-Sinsen • 88 Projects subject to external quality assurance in Norway (2001-2007). Sample includes: • 29 Road and railway projects • 12 Building projects • 10 Defence projects • 51 Projects in total (58% of population) • Do we define and design major public investment projects well?

  5. Well Designed? No! They are not up to best practice Best practice reference: Logical Framework Approach. The number of projects meeting the best practice criteria. Total of 51 projects evaluated. Source: O J Klakegg, PhD dissertation 2010

  6. Governance of Projects • The Norwegian State needs to invest in physical infrastructure • We have financial ability • But we struggle to find economically viable projects (few people to share the cost) • And we struggle to define and design the projects well

  7. How do our projects perform? Result of 23 major Norwegian public investment projects finished after going through QA2. They reach objectives and deliver within approved frames. We see a high degree of professionalism in project management in all agencies with projects in this sample. Source: Concept Research Programme 2010

  8. Actual cost compared to approved expected cost Average: -4% Results placed on the timeline according to finishing date of the project.

  9. The execution perspective

  10. Result of detailed assessment OK Warning Stop Roads Railw Building ICT

  11. Analyses and Reality Some issues dominate in analyses (based on 75 project analyses). Observations in real life show that reality is more complex (based on 23 finished projects).
