- The implementation of collaborative project delivery models introduces new ways of working, changing processes and behaviours, and influencing network structures, especially in major inter-organisational projects. The ongoing standardisation thereof helps align the industry and change infrastructure institutions while the formation of network ties in a specific project can in turn guide the implementation of the models. We study how this deliberate change of governance structures impact project institutions through two Nordic infrastructure projects, which show how different project networks result in either a successfully implemented change or a return to traditional behaviours. Our findings show first, how inter-organisational projects with a collaborative approach can change institutions through the interaction of institutional levels and second, that network ties helps changing the institutional context, role behaviours and project processes. The findings contribute to the discussion on institutional change and give empirical evidence of how project networks help explain the success or failure of institutional change initiatives.

- Organisations increasingly seek to implement sustainability in their processes and practices by the means of projects. Even though research shows that internal sustainability-related communication is essential for this transition, its role in sustainable project management remains fairly understudied. This study addresses that research gap by exploring the ways internal sustainability communication is organised and perceived in the context of sustainable project management. The research is based on a case study of a large infrastructure project in Sweden. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and internal project documents. The results reveal that there is no uniform understanding of sustainability among project team members and that the different modes of sustainability communication are applied in a way that does not meet project team members’ needs. The latter specifically concerns the frequency, used channels and targeted audiences of sustainability communication measures.
