Investigation Series

The Projects That Went Wrong

Warning signs emerged across these programmes. The critical question is whether they were recognised, escalated and acted upon effectively.

The Boeing 737 MAX, Queensland Health's payroll collapse, the Mars Climate Orbiter's unit-conversion failure and JPMorgan's $6.2 billion London Whale loss are different industries with the same anatomy: documented warning signs, governance that stopped asking questions, and consequences measured in lives and billions. This series is the core syllabus of what goes wrong.
