Abstract
Published in the Journal of Project Management Research (JPMR), this study presents empirical findings from 14 strategic infrastructure megaprojects in Southeast Asia, establishing quantitative escalation thresholds for executive steering committees.
Key Research Takeaways & Findings
Formalizing threshold-based escalation reduces decision latency from 18 days to 4.2 days.
Risk governance triggers should be tied to quantitative variance metrics rather than subjective milestones.
