Our 3-hours Sponsor Workshop is Live!

When projects stall, benefits leak, and teams lose momentum, one factor is usually at the heart of the problem: weak project sponsorship.

Research from the Association for Project Management and PMI is clear, the effectiveness of the project sponsor is the single biggest predictor of project success or failure. Yet, despite its importance, sponsorship remains one of the most misunderstood and under-supported roles in organisations.

The Challenge with Project Sponsorship

Executives are often appointed as project sponsors without preparation, training, or clarity about what the role demands. Unlike project managers, who typically receive rigorous training, sponsors are expected to simply “know” how to deliver impact.

The reality?

• Decision-making slows down.

• Priorities become misaligned.

• Teams lose confidence.

• Benefits are missed.

This capability gap leaves project sponsors exposed and projects at risk.

Why the Sponsor Role Matters

The sponsor is not a figurehead. They:

• Link the project to business strategy

• Champion the vision and business case

• Make timely decisions and remove obstacles

• Ensure benefits are realised, not just outputs delivered

Strong sponsors give projects the backing they need to thrive. Weak sponsorship undermines even the most capable project managers.
