About the Forum

project economy

/ˈprɒdʒ.ekt ɪˈkɒn.ə.mi/noun

The share of an economy’s work that creates something new: every plant, product, system, building and transformation delivered through projects rather than routine operations.

We exist to lead it better.

Operations run the business. Projects change it.

Every new asset, product and way of working starts as a project. They decide what organisations, industries and nations become next.

Yet the leaders responsible for them have never had one place to meet.

The Project Economy Forum is that place.

Four convictions.

01
It is one discipline.

A refinery, a drug pipeline and a digital platform are led by the same fundamentals.
02
The best answers cross borders.

What works in one industry often solves the hardest problem in another.
03
Delivery beats ambition.

Plans are judged by what was built, not what was announced.
04
Value is the finish line.

A project is complete when it delivers what it promised, not when it closes.

The people who decide, fund and deliver.

01Those who decide

02Those who fund

CFOs and investment committees
03Those who deliver

heads of capital projects, portfolio management, technology, R&D, transformation and project controls

Across energy, infrastructure, real estate, life sciences, technology, financial services and the public sector.

Two executives in close conversation; one makes a point with a raised hand.

Our standards.

Senior by design.: Our gatherings are for leaders who own decisions and outcomes.
Private where it matters.: Executive dialogues are closed and by invitation, so leaders can speak openly.
Built on experience.: Our programme is led by people who have delivered.
Global by nature.: We convene wherever the world’s major projects are led.
