On 13 August 2026, INMAA Advisory's John Al Khateeb presented "Governing at the Speed of AI" to the PMI Adelaide Chapter. The talk argued that as AI systems generate signals, options, and recommendations faster than organisations can absorb them, the constraint on good governance is no longer information — it is the capacity of people and governance structures to make sense of that information and decide. Governing well at AI speed means confronting that constraint directly.

Complex projects involve multiple stakeholders, shifting priorities, and uncertain environments. Navigating this requires clear governance frameworks and decision-making processes. One concept that explains how decisions are made under these conditions is bounded rationality. This article looks at how bounded rationality shapes decision-making and sense-making in complex projects, and what that means for governance in practice. Understanding Complex Project Governance Governa

Managing large-scale, complex projects demands a governance framework that is both robust and adaptable. The intricacies of multi-stakeholder environments, shifting priorities, and evolving risks require governance strategies that provide clarity, accountability, and flexibility. In my experience, successful governance in such contexts hinges on a deliberate balance between control and empowerment, ensuring that decision-making is informed, timely, and aligned with strategic

In complex projects, the most valuable signals are often those that a risk register cannot capture. These signals include the persistent tensions between roles, disciplines, and priorities that reveal how the project is evolving. Effective risk management remains essential; a risk is an uncertain event that one works to prevent or mitigate. The discipline of identifying, assessing, and treating risk is foundational. INMAA Advisory's approach builds on this foundation while ad

The 2026 Defence Industry Development Strategy does something we haven't seen a Defence industry policy document do before. It treats project management, program management and commercial capability not as supporting functions that sit beneath the “real” work of building ships and aircraft, but as strategic national capabilities in their own right. That is a meaningful shift. For years, the conversation about defence delivery has been dominated by platforms and technologies —

Governance of complex projects is the system of decision rights, accountability, and adaptation that keeps a large-scale initiative aligned with its objectives as conditions change. Effective governance rests on well-established fundamentals — clear accountability, strategic alignment, stakeholder engagement, risk and performance management. INMAA Advisory's approach builds on these fundamentals and adds a distinctive layer: in complex environments, governance also generates

Pleased to be featured in the latest edition of the PMI South Australia Impact. This edition included a practitioner summary of a white paper from a large-scale inventory intervention project in the FMCG sector. The summary documents a two-year consulting engagement in which a major FMCG retail chain was carrying an unsustainable stock-purchasing commitment across 500+ SKUs — driven not by poor systems but by a fundamental breakdown in operational governance and decision-maki

Description This subject examines the theory and practice of managing projects characterised by high uncertainty, interdependency, and organisational complexity. Students develop the analytical and leadership capabilities required to navigate environments where traditional linear approaches are insufficient. Drawing on real-world case studies, the subject equips practitioners to diagnose complexity, design appropriate delivery frameworks, and lead projects to successful outco

Description This subject introduces postgraduate students to systems thinking as a foundation for understanding and managing projects embedded in complex organisational and social systems. Students learn to identify feedback loops, unintended consequences, and systemic interdependencies that conventional project management approaches frequently overlook. The subject builds capability to diagnose root causes rather than symptoms, and to design interventions that are durable ra

Description This subject develops advanced capability in the identification, analysis, and management of risk across the full project lifecycle. Students engage with both quantitative and qualitative risk management methodologies, emphasising the integration of risk practice into governance and decision-making structures. The subject prepares practitioners to lead risk management functions in complex, high-value project environments where the cost of failure is high. Learning

Description This subject examines the strategic and operational dimensions of large-scale organisational transformation, with a focus on the role of project and program management in delivering sustainable change. Students explore how organisations innovate, adapt, and transform in response to competitive, regulatory, and technological disruption. The subject integrates change management theory with program delivery practice, preparing graduates to lead transformation initiat

Description This subject examines the structures, frameworks, and practices that constitute effective project governance across organisational and program contexts. Students develop a critical understanding of how governance enables — or inhibits — decision-making, accountability, and value delivery in project environments. Drawing on both theory and practitioner experience, the subject prepares graduates to design, implement, and evaluate governance arrangements appropriate

Course Description: This subject develops advanced capability in stakeholder identification, analysis, and engagement across complex project and program environments. Students examine the political, cultural, and relational dimensions of stakeholder management, and develop structured communication strategies for diverse and often conflicting stakeholder groups. The subject recognises that stakeholder capability is frequently the determining factor in project success and equip

Course Description This subject provides a rigorous grounding in the principles and techniques of project cost estimating, budgeting, schedule development, and performance measurement. Students develop competency in earned value management, critical path analysis, and integrated baseline control, applied to projects of varying scale and complexity. The subject emphasises the governance dimensions of cost and schedule management, preparing practitioners to make and defend reso
