skadeutredningen

Skadeutredningen is a Swedish parliamentary inquiry established in 2017 to investigate the country's infrastructure institutions and their handling of major infrastructure projects. The inquiry was appointed by the Swedish Parliament and was tasked with examining the causes of time delays and cost overruns in large infrastructure projects, such as the Fehmarnbelt fixed link and the City 柜 gal concrete tunnel in Stockholm.

The inquiry was chaired by Lennart Axelsson, a professor of managerial accounting, and consisted of several members from various fields. During the course of the inquiry, the committee held public hearings with various stakeholders, including private industry participants, public institutions, and government officials.

Skadeutredningen's report, released in 2019, found that many of Sweden's large infrastructure projects were plagued by problems such as delays, cost overruns, and quality issues. The inquiry attributed these problems to inadequate governance, lack of transparency, and an over-reliance on publicly funded projects. The report also made several recommendations for improving the governance and management of future infrastructure projects.

Some of the key findings and recommendations of the Skadeutredningen report include the need for more rigorous project planning and risk management, increased transparency and accountability, and a more even distribution of risks between public and private sector partners. The report also called for a more comprehensive and preventative approach to project governance, including the use of independent project monitors and clearer definitions of project success.

The Skadeutredningen report has been widely discussed and debated in Sweden, and many of its recommendations have been incorporated into new infrastructure project management policies and procedures.
