Abstract

In the dynamic and competitive landscape of the banking sector in Ghana, successful project implementation is crucial for achieving strategic goals and maintaining operational efficiency. This study explores the key success factors (KSFs) critical to the successful execution of banking sector projects within Ghana. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to gather insights from project managers, executives, and stakeholders across various banks. The findings identify and analyze essential factors such as effective project planning, stakeholder engagement, risk management, and resource allocation. Additionally, the study highlights the influence of local regulatory environments, technological advancements, and organizational culture on project success. By providing a comprehensive understanding of these success factors, the research aims to offer practical recommendations for enhancing project outcomes and fostering sustainable growth in Ghana’s banking sector.
