Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have been promoted as achieving value for money in government projects through innovation. Private investment, contract bundling, and transferring risk to the private sector are regarded as incentives creating innovation. Data collected on PPPs through in-depth interviews with 36 senior practitioners are analyzed by applying a transdisciplinary theoretical approach and grounded theory. The relation between PPPs and innovation is systematically addressed. PPP models provide an environment for innovation precontract award but limit risk, thus inhibiting post-contract innovation. A framework illustrating the complex relations of different elements of PPPs and their effects on innovation is presented.

This article seeks to advance the current debate on the role of ignorance in the management of large projects by mobilizing insights from recent literature on the interplay between temporary projects and permanent contexts. Instead of examining how ignorance shapes the success or failure of isolated projects, we intend to examine how ignorance is addressed and framed within these projects and their wider environment and how this framing shapes the practices of planning and managing projects. The usefulness of the proposed framework is gauged with two empirical vignettes that elucidate different perspectives on ignorance in recent, German, large construction projects.

There is a growing face-value acceptance of optimism bias as the primary cause of transport cost overruns. This article provides a timely review of literature on optimism bias and transport infrastructure project cost overruns. The article identifies significant gaps and unanswered questions about the relationship between optimism bias in project cost appraisal and cases of transport infrastructure cost overruns. The presence and nature of optimism bias in the complex institutional environment of project cost appraisal are largely understudied and not well understood. Consequently, this has significant implications for the development of effective mitigation strategies for improving transport project cost performance.

City rebuilding precincts are embedded in, surrounded by, and sometimes resisted or celebrated by stakeholders they impact. These projects require long-lasting relationships and loyalty from the community they serve, making trust a crucial factor. This article employs a case study approach and draws from both social exchange and circuit of power theories to understand the complex relationship between trust and governance. Three strategies emerged from the analysis: employing resources, building legitimacy, and creating a brand. These strategies and their interactions highlight how trust can act as a governance mechanism for more effective engagement with the project community.

This systematic literature review aims to identify and compare the main participative approaches to empowering users in construction projects. Whereas different approaches are mobilized, findings suggest that research on project management has focused primarily on sponsors, who are in a position to control project resources, with users often being overlooked. This lack of involvement creates gaps between user expectations and delivered construction projects. The review therefore finds that, on principle and to assure added value, project managers should consider implementing a user-empowering approach right from the planning stage. Guidelines for practical considerations for a participative approach to project management are suggested.

This study proposes program orientation as an organizational culture that motivates organizations to manage interrelated projects like a program without a formal structure or program team. We hold that collaboration, with cooperation and coordination as its main elements, plays a critical role in aligning interrelated projects dynamically. The empirical results support our hypotheses that program orientation indirectly affects information systems alignment with interproject cooperation, coordination, and adaptability mediating its effects. This study thus confirms the benefit of treating interrelated projects as a program, even when they are not governed by a formal program structure.

Since the 1950s, project portfolio management (PPM) has offered principles helping us to act in PPM-related situations. Our study integrates what we know by reviewing seven decades of PPM research. We identify 17 PPM principles in four categories that have shaped our thinking and show how these are embedded in a semantical hierarchy. By doing so we shed light on the thoughts, intentions, and practices behind the principles, which support practitioners in becoming knowledgeable agents. By reflecting on the deficits of the identified principles’ underlying assumptions, we propose a path for future research.

Organizations invest in digital transformation (DT) programs to digitize, digitalize, and integrate products, processes, services, and data. This research explores the management disciplines, both accepted and emerging, underlying program management in the context of DT. Case analyses from two DT programs explore program management elements. Findings suggest strong support for the existing program disciplines of governance, benefits management, and change management. Three disciplinary elements also emerged—aligning multiple digital architectures, developing product management capabilities, and transforming human capital in low-code environments. Research into DT programs has much to contribute to our understanding of program management and successful DT initiatives.

This article analyzes codesign practices within a series of innovation projects that have diverse stakeholders, initially ill-defined goals, and subjective success measures. Following a practitioner inquiry approach, we draw on practice theory to analyze data and artifacts from 68 educational codesign projects shaped through new forms of collaborative working. The article examines project management principles by analyzing codesign practices and explores the interrelationship of practice and the project site. Contributions include an enriched conception of project management ontologies and a set of principles that identify practitioner mindsets and approaches that are valuable in managing innovation projects.

Sustainability integration in project portfolio management helps shape strategic, organizational, and project-based contexts. The authors conducted a structured literature review from 2000 to 2021 and developed a novel integrative framework presenting a holistic view highlighting three substantive research themes: sustainability mindset, sustainability assessment, and sustainability integration in project portfolio processes. Noteworthy progress has been made at the strategic and portfolio levels toward framing a sustainability mindset (definition, values, and principles) and developing frameworks/tools for sustainability assessment and project portfolio selection. However, areas for more research include integrating sustainability into project portfolio processes, reporting, and organizational learning for portfolio improvement.
