Additional Success Factors
Without empowerment of (action/activity) authority, accountability, reasonable performance metrics, and proper time-lines which support corporate/project/program objectives the opportunity for failure is increased. Things left unattended will migrate from 'bad' to 'worse' on their travel to 'catastrophy'.

Key Success Factor
From the perspective of a consultant or contractor, the client organization must have a strong, committed project sponsor or "champion" with sufficient clout to maintain client focus on the reason for undertaking the project. If client interest wanes, probability of project success also wanes no matter how effective the consultant or contractor may be.
