Case Study: Gil’s Sportsplex Chapter 6

If you were considering building a sportsplex somewhere in the northeastern United States, where would you build it? Choose your ideal location based on demographics or other criteria that you can justify. Then use the Internet to find an open plot of land that is large enough to sustain your facility. As an example, typical urban golf courses need around 110 to 120 acres, whereas resort courses are larger, averaging around 170 to 190 acres. A softball facility can range from 20 to 60 acres but could be much larger if additional land is acquired for future expansion. Thus, you need to make sure the plot of land is large enough. How much will it cost to purchase the land? Draw a rough diagram of the land and how your facility will fit on the land. Make sure you focus on the topography of the land and the orientation of the facility on the land.

The Management of large projects

Recent research in project studies showed an increasing attention towards the link between project management and flexibility. Project practitioners are exploring various governance arrangements that can make the project management more flexible. Capital engineering projects, especially large and complex, have often attracted criticism for their performance. A flexible project management approach could help mitigate issues such as environmental uncertainty, which in turn should aid towards better decision making.

The essence of a flexibility is to raise awareness of the changing and dynamic project environment. It is recognized that the complex and changing context of projects makes it impossible to make reliable predictions, and instead of predicting and correspondingly avoiding changes, changes need to be incorporated in the project. In other words: “the project manager should be empowered with flexibility to deal with unforeseen circumstances as they see best, and with the owner giving guidance as to how they think the project should be best achieved.”

Your task

By considering the above, you are asked to produce a report that:

  • Outlines the dominant/standard project management approach which is based on identifying risks.
  • Makes a case that challenges the existing approach.
  • Provides a new ideology that drives the organisation owning the project.
  • Summarises the report’s findings and discusses implications of these findings.
  • Produces an actionable agenda.
