Abstract
Infrastructure Projects are rarely completed on time or within budget. This has become a "norm" that is begrudgingly tolerated by a jaded public. The societal waste is very high, on aggregate, in many of the highly developed nations on earth. The Infrastructure domain represents a multi-trillion-dollar global opportunity to improve deployment of systems engineering. This presentation will provide evidence to support the failure assertions, analyze root causes and present pragmatic solutions
