ABSTRACT

This is not a formal project role, but if there is a senior individual prepared to suffer considerable sacrifice to ensure that a cause (in this case a project or programme) in which he or she fervently believes is communicated, promoted, supported and ultimately successful, you will have a great ally! This term comes from history, where it referred to an individual who fought, usually in single combat, on behalf of a cause, such as in the fable of Saint George and the Dragon.
