“India is on the threshold of economic revolution and she is investing huge sum of money on creating infrastructure and other facilities. Application of Eli Goldratt’s concept of Critical Chain Project Management will help India to achieve her objective much faster and more efficiently. I am glad to come to India and talk about this concept”, said Barnard who will be visiting India for the first time.

According to the data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, 158 large projects (involving project cost above Rs 1000 crore) currently under various stages of implementation have seen a cost overrun of 21%. In other words, country has to spend Rs 1,00,497 crore more on these projects because of cost overrun. Application of latest technologies and newer project management concepts can help the country to reduce wastage and ensure efficient use of scarce resources.
