Through most of my career, the most frequent root cause I've seen for large projects failing is a general lack of specific accountability that is clear among stakeholders.  That's why when I started working with Active Agenda, one of the features that impressed me most was the ability to assign accountability to an individual for almost every kind of event, policy, guidance, project, and other records.  This gives users a concise list of what's "on their plate" and I think really lays the foundation for a solid business continuity plan, as well as capacity management.

I think once an organization gets over the cultural perception that accountability is associated with blame, I think most people find comfort in knowing what they're accountable for and they perform better as well.
