Ben Webb is an award-winning Project Manager, Project Director, and event delivery specialist with more than 30 years’ experience leading complex projects across infrastructure, major events, tourism, transport, and the built environment. Recognised as Australia’s Leading Project Manager (AIPM, 2022), Ben is known for delivering high-stakes projects under intense public, political, and commercial pressure—where failure is visible and success is non-negotiable. His career spans large-scale infrastructure, iconic public events, and nationally significant programs involving government, private enterprise, community stakeholders, and global brands. Ben’s expertise sits at the intersection of strategy, delivery, risk, and leadership. He speaks candidly about why projects really fail—not because of tools or templates, but because of decision-making, governance, human behaviour, and misplaced incentives. His work challenges traditional project management orthodoxy, advocating for pragmatic, accountable, and outcome-driven delivery over bureaucracy and box-ticking.
