“…Concerning the supporting mechanisms of applying IT governance in the company, these include strategic planning, whereby the executive manager shoulders the responsibility of implementing the IT project by providing advice on various implemented mechanisms. He is also responsible for reviewing the company's annual reports, reviewing plans and models, and integrating them into the strategic planning and decision-making processes as part of the IT governance (Müller et al, 2019). However, the implementation of these mechanisms is a difficult and complicated process, which requires hugely concerted efforts.…”

Governance is one of the most effective tools to stimulate investments because it encourages the growth of financial markets. IT governance is a fundamental part of corporate governance. It helps achieve many advantages and benefits for companies. This study aims to examine the level of IT governance practice and its application, benefits, and administrative implications in the private banking sector in Saudi Arabia. To achieve the research objective, the inductive and deductive research approaches are employed to address the questions and collect the data. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was administered to three categories of employees in the selected Saudi banks. The findings revealed that IT governance contributed to creating a competitive advantage and adding real value to the banks through improving their reputation, increasing the market share, and enhancing customer satisfaction, which resulted in an improvement in the value of the banks. However, it is recommended that the rules of control and the principles of IT governance are considered in the future policies of Saudi banks, their mission, structures, and decision-making.

“…This suggests that at the organisational level there is better coverage but that a gap exists at the sector-project level. An existing framework for the analysis across levels is provided by Müller et al (2019) in their organisational levels in project management (OPM) model. In project management terms, this includes the project, programme, and portfolio levels of organisational design and this could allow the alignment of the IP-SDG analysis with the Müller-developed theory to help explain the SDG interface and interaction of the OPM elements across the layers within the model.…”

The achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is of paramount importance “for the peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future” (United Nations, 2015; Økland, 2015). Important changes are needed in order to achieve these goals, and infrastructure projects (IP) are critical to facilitate these changes at local and global levels, across health, energy, education, transport, communication and other critical infrastructure needs. However, a gap exists in understanding how SDGs are applied below the global-national levels. In order to increase global and local impact of infrastructure investments, an improved understanding is needed at organisational and infrastructure project levels. In this context, the purpose of this research study is firstly to build on a comprehensive literature review to investigate the existing UN SDG targets in relation to IP, and secondly, to lay a foundation for a comprehensive framework to structure research systematically in this field. This approach can help further our understanding of the topic, thereby providing an important contribution for regulators, policymakers, academia and practitioners on how to align IP to SDGs objectives. This will deliver increased value from infrastructure investments and enable the project management community to generate local impact on global issues, for ‘people and the planet, now and in the future’.

“…From the perspective of this article, however, we will discuss only the essential elements of the OPM model that are relevant to the development and governance of megaprojects to contribute to the UN SDGs. A more detailed description of the model and its elements can be found in an article published in the Project Management Journal for further reading (Müller, Drouin, & Sankaran, 2019b).…”

Creating a ‘sustainability sublime’ to enable megaprojects to meet the United Nations sustainable development goals

Despite cost and schedule overruns and benefits shortfalls, megaprojects (which are large-scale projects that typically cost over a billion dollars and take years to develop and build) continue to be promoted and built creating a megaproject paradox. Prominent megaproject scholar Bent Flyvbjerg (2014) argued that this could be motivated by four 'sublimes'-technological, political, economic and aesthetic that drive new megaprojects being put forward despite their poor performance. Recent evidence shows that better governance practices are helping to improve the overall performance of megaprojects. Despite the United Nations setting 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030, there are severe shortfalls in initiatives from governments, public organizations and private businesses endangering the achievement of targets set for these goals. In addition, time is running out to achieve these goals with only a decade left. The current initiatives contributing to these goals appear to be focused on individual SDGs even though many of these are interrelated. This article proposes that if politicians, engineers and scientists, businesses leaders and design thinkers could be motivated by a 'sustainability sublime' to create megaprojects that contribute to SDGs, it could benefit both the society and the planet. It also argues that a more integrated view of UN SDGs and a suitable governance structure should be applied to ensure that megaprojects created as a result of the sustainability sublime deliver benefits towards achieving UN SDGs.
