Succesfactors and
Lessons Learned
The teamwork was excellent, we all wanted to deliver the
SWC, that’s why is was possible to realize this innovative
project.
The Partnership in this project between Public sector and
Private companies, with all different backgrounds,
scopes, ideas, and ownership was a real challenge.
Even having with the involved parties commitments it was
not for granted to execute these on time.
