If I had to single out only one thing, why projects go wrong, it's optimism. We are hardwired from nature to be optimistic, which is probably a good thing. But in other situations, as Canaman points out, it can be a real disaster to be optimistic. And if you're optimistic about the budget, that's a recipe for a crash of the project.
Bent Flyvbjerg shares his insights on the key principles that distinguish successful big projects from the failed ones. Through his research and experience, he identifies important factors such as understanding the odds, planning slow and acting fast, and starting with the end goal in mind. Join us as we explore how to master the unknowns and achieve wild ambitions with Flyvbjerg's guidance.
