Course Overview

Projects involving tourism destination projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Stakeholders withdraw support for the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda quietly before they withdraw it formally. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this part of project and portfolio delivery, not around theory headings. What blocks progress on tourism destination projects is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the project and portfolio delivery discipline, in large organisations and small ones alike. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the project and portfolio delivery capability rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Mature organisations treat tourism destination projects as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this area of project and portfolio delivery in an order their organisation can absorb. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda that would make a visible difference.
