Breakthrough Projects are typically major technical, commercial or operational challenges that face a business and to which a ‘business as usual’ management approach has been unable to solve . Increasingly these are being thrown up by changes in environmental legislation or simply higher standards , and also by changes to the commercial environment as well as opportunities thrown up by further exploration work . They often arrive without much notice and their resolution needs to be speedy. The designation of a Breakthrough Project is a statement of intent by management to address the matter head-on and provide the resources necessary to ‘ breakthrough’ the challenge.
