A Learning Experience
Projects in Crisis: A Learning Experience undertook a review of projects across a sample of Church of England dioceses, looking particularly at those that had faced crisis. The primary aim was to develop a detailed understanding of the reasons why some church-based social action projects ‘fail'. For the purpose of this study, ‘failure' includes projects not achieving their original aims, losing focus, or experiencing financial or managerial crises.
The report: outlines the key difficulties faced by projects in crisis, helping to understand the features of a successful project; identifies broader issues; and makes recommendations so that crises can be avoided, minimised or managed.
