Core offering

Oxford Global Projects is an advisory firm specializing in megaproject management consulting. It helps governments and large enterprises overcome the 'iron law of megaprojects' (over budget, over time, under benefits) by applying research-based methodologies such as benchmarking, reference class forecasting, early warning systems, project turnaround, masterbuilder leadership, stakeholder engagement, and tailored academies and workshops, all grounded in the world's largest high-quality datasets on project performance.

Product overview

Oxford Global Projects is a consulting and advisory firm specializing in megaproject management, not a unified software product. The company offers a portfolio of advisory services centered around its proprietary datasets on project performance—the largest high-quality datasets on megaproject outcomes worldwide. The core service offering includes Benchmarking, Reference Class Forecasting, Early Warning Systems, Black Swan Management, Project Turnaround, Masterbuilder Leadership, Stakeholder Engagement, Smart Scaling, Safeguard Contingency, Team Coaching, Custom Workshops, and Project Leadership Academies. These services are delivered by assembling bespoke teams of internationally recognized academic experts and senior practitioners for each client engagement. The firm also developed an AI-Enabled Early Warning System in partnership with the Hong Kong government, which represents their most productized technology offering.

• Black Swan Management Advisory service to help organizations prepare for and manage rare, high-impact events with severe consequences that fall outside normal expectations in project delivery.
• Project Turnaround Recovery service for troubled megaprojects, applying diagnostic analysis and intervention strategies to bring failing projects back on track for delivery.
