Network Analysis achieved some significant results in recent years thanks to advances in technology and in the approach to organisational networks. Less exciting were the results obtained with Mega Projects. These projects show high risk with regards to results, to the compliance of the budget and to the realization of the entire project. So far, the response of Mega Projects contracting authorities is to ask those presenting the project proposals to increase the number of controls and connected indexes without obtaining, almost until now, an increase in project performance. This paper examines the proposal to transfer some results of network analysis to the performance monitoring of Mega Projects. Starting from the case of Erasmus PICASP Project for the creation of Pilot courses and new didactics for teachers training in cultural tourism for the development of Caspian Area, the paper proposes an evolutionary model of cycles of simplification and complexification of the networks control systems. The approach of Practice Enterprise which allows the members of the project networks to acquire the practice of teamwork right from the early stages of planning, and, once the project starts case risks or emergencies arise, will be applied within his model.
