Hi Chris,
Our project archives show that at least 50% of the effort (work) on any project is devoted to dealing with political matters. By that I mean that there are always people with particular interests whose interests need to be taken into account in our design projects. They represent the greater risk to failure in any of our design projects.
We have to teach all our project staff how to deal with these matters. Specific skills and management techniques are required.
David
