Successful Project Sponsorship
The critical role of the Senior Responsible Owner*

"Tis skill not strength that governs a ship."
Thomas Fuller

* Term used by the Office of Government Commerce (UK): "The Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) is the individual responsible for ensuring that a project or programme of change meets its objectives and delivers the projected benefits. They should be the owner of the overall business change that is being supported by the project or programme".
