SPECIAL OLYMPICS WORLD GAMES 2003
The Problem
The Special Olympics World Games in 2003 was the world’s biggest sporting event that year. This event was been held in Ireland for the first time in 2003 and nothing like this had ever been attempted in Ireland before.
The Solution
The application of best project management practices was crucial in the planning and execution of the games and this was achieved through Fergus O’Connell’s “How To Run Successful Projects (Ten Steps®)” method. Fergus worked with the Special Olympics Team to do the initial scoping and planning of the project.
Then, all the members of the project team were trained in the “How To Run Successful Projects (Ten Steps®)” method and then provided with a full-time on-site consultant during the entire lead-up to the Special Olympics Games to act as an independent project advisor.
The Result
The Special Olympics World Games are widely regarded as having been an outstanding national success
