The importance of stakeholders for project success: the C-NOMIS case study(This is part 3 of a series of 10 posts: Why projects fail?)This article deals with the third of the OGCs eight causes of project failure: insufficient or ineffective engagement with project stakeholders.Individuals and groups who are not part of the project management team, but who need to interact with the project or may be affected by the projects outcome, are known as stakeholders.

The combination of electric drive with the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission ensures that the S-Class "Hybrid" constantly operates at the optimum level. "This reduces fuel consumption by 15 to 25 percent depending on the driving cycle, while at the same time enhancing comfort," says Prof. Herbert Kohl, Head of the Vehicle Body and Drive Systems Directorate at Daimler Chrysler AG. Combining a V8 diesel engine with the latest generation of hybrid drive systems developed jointly by Daimler Chrysler and General Motors, Mercedes Benz introduces the S Class Hybrid, which unlike many conventional hybrids, the system dispenses with a torque converter; this is replaced by the hybrid-specific components. The hybrid concept is based on the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission in combination with the P1/2 hybrid transmission, which thanks to its compact dimensions does not restrict interior space. "The use of the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission makes for a comfort level that is unique in the world of hybrids," emphasized Weber. "Shifting is even faster and more convenient in continuously variable mode." Setting a new record for cars with hybrid drive system, the S Class has a maximum output of 340...more
