This book offers a guide on how to prepare business and operational
environments to safely receive and effectively utilise systems
(i.e., products of projects) to prevent successfully completed
systems from failing to add value to their intended environment. It
is supplemented with four extended practical exercises to help
readers apply the principles to their own large, complex projects
and ensure project success. Operational Readiness remains one of
the least developed practices of both Project Management (PM) and
Systems Engineering (SE). As a result, satisfactorily completed
"systems" (e.g., satellites, aircrafts, mine shafts, power plants,
road and rail networks, hospitals, and schools), completed on time,
on budget, and to specification, are often failing to add value by
providing improvements in their intended operational environment.
In numerous cases, System Deployment is also accompanied by adverse
and detrimental effects on the business and operational
environments, and at times on the broader environment (e.g.,
persistent pollution, negative economic externalities, exacerbation
of social ills such as deprivation and crime). In this book, the
author discusses both the process and challenges of deploying the
product into its intended operational environment and offers
guidance to enable organisations to benefit from a holistic
framework for Operational Readiness. This forward-thinking book is
essential reading for all those involved with managing large
projects including project managers, sponsors, and executives. It
will also be useful for advanced students of Project Management and
Systems Engineering looking to understand and expand their
knowledge of Operational Readiness, infrastructure projects, and
systems deployment.
