Welcome to the Major Projects Association
|
Message from the Chairman, Sir Robert Walmsley KCB |
| Our May seminar was a case study of the challenges relating to South Africa’s primary infrastructure capital expansion programme. We were hugely honoured with the presence of Her Excellency Dr Lindiwe Mabuza, the South African High Commissioner, and amongst our speakers for the day were Alec Erwin, former South African Government Minister and Brian Bruce, Chief Executive of Murray & Roberts. They delivered the perfect MPA event – frank, open and honest about their problems and failures as well as their successes. Brian included in his presentation an interesting definition of a major project. Over the 28 years of our existence we have resisted defining what would be ever-changing criteria but I feel that Brian’s description is apt: “A Major Project is one that that potentially exceeds the inherent capability and / or capacity of the organisation to deliver it.” If this is the case it reinforces the need and relevance of this Association for our members. I hope that you agree.” |

| About the Major Projects Association |
| The purpose of the Major Projects Association is to improve the initiation and delivery of major projects through the interaction of members from all sectors in sharing experience, knowledge and ideas. |
| Reports from events |
| To improve the delivery of major projects it is necessary to learn from past mistakes and from one another. Therefore we record all of our seminars – the presentations from speakers and contributions from delegates – to create detailed pdf reports of these events.
The full reports are available to members. Non members can access the summaries.
