Project Failure
This book supposes you want to plan and complete a ‘project’. Why might you fail? What can you do to reduce the chances of failure? This book looks at where projects fail, the causes, and what measures can limit failure. Failures and the reasons for them are examined. Areas discussed include unclear objectives; evaluating alternatives; the planning fallacy; misperception of the nature of risk; devising risk appetite; overly narrow risk assessment and identification; undervaluing natural capital; lack of stakeholder engagement; unclear responsibility assignment; and conflicting interests. Machiavellianism can make things happen when they shouldn’t, or obstruct them when they should happen. The book concludes with a concise one-page risk management guide. As well as pulling together and summarising relevant literature sources, the author draws on more than fifty years’ experience in small and large-scale project management including water supply, biodiversity and environmental management, and work with the extractive industries.

Private investigators
This report concludes that it is getting easier for anyone to advertise themselves as a private investigator - with modern communications and cheap surveillance devices - and while the industry remains unregulated, a number of serious risks remain. The Committee explores the risks of the involvement of private investigators in the justice system and law enforcement and the threat of corruption those links entail. The Committee recommends that the Government set up a robust licensing and registration system as soon as possible. Private investigators and their companies should be governed by a new Code of Conduct for Private Investigators. Under this system a criminal record for breach of sect...
The Perses Effect

While NASA was tracking its trajectory they discovered it would pass dangerously close to the moon causing Earth’s gravitational field to shift leading to a global catastrophe. The world’s entire nuclear arsenal was launched. Perses was destroyed and rained down on the unsuspecting world. A dormant alien virus triggered by the nuclear radiation swept across the planet leaving death and mutation in its wake. Now its time to survive...
