Bent Flyvbjerg

Den verdensberømte projektledelsesforsker Bent Flyvbjerg deler sin formel for at eksekvere store projekter med succes i denne samtale. Emner inkluderer: Hvordan man styrer risiko bedre, kendetegn ved succesfulde projektledere, og hvordan man undgår at blive en del af statistikken, der siger at 99,5 procent af projekter fejler.

Why do megaprojects run late and blow their budgets? Bent Flyvbjerg explores the psychology and politics behind project failures, and why solar and wind tend to deliver more reliably than nuclear. The conversation also weighs the risks of hydrogen heating, grid expansion, heat pumps, geothermal drilling, and ambitious undersea power cables.

I denne samtale med Bent Flyvbjerg, professor ved Oxford og ekspert i projektledelse, udforskes den skadelige tro på, at vi er unikke. Bent forklarer, hvordan denne illusion hindrer læring og fører til dyre budgetoverskridelser. Han deler praktiske råd om, hvordan man kan bekæmpe denne bias, samt vigtigheden af at lære fra tidligere projekter. Desuden diskuteres konkrete eksempler på fejlvurderede projekter og de grundregler, der bør følges for at sikre succes.

Danish economic geographer Bent Flyvbjerg discusses the role of power, dynamics, and psychology in project management. He highlights the importance of combining optimism with realism, building a culture of continuous learning, and precision in forecasting. Flyvbjerg emphasizes the significance of understanding and managing unknowns in project management and shares lessons from the Chicago Fire Festival and Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studio.

Bent Flyvbjerg, a Danish economic geographer and megaproject expert, explores why ambitious projects miss their targets. He examines cost overruns, fat-tailed risks, and the dangers of intuition. The conversation turns to slow planning, fast execution, and iterative methods inspired by Pixar and Frank Gehry. He also discusses reference-class forecasting, modular design, and what Indian weddings can teach us about building big things.

Bent Flyvbjerg discusses 'Pixar Planning' and the benefits of standardization and modularity in project management. He advocates for avoiding bespoke projects and focusing on standardized, modular approaches. Examples from shipping containers and advice on making projects more successful by embracing modularity are highlighted in the podcast.

Bent Flyvbjerg, expert on megaprojects, shares insights from 16,000 projects. Topics: success/failure patterns, 'iron law,' leadership principles, Caesar's Rhine bridges, 'think slow, act fast,' Guggenheim vs. Sydney Opera House.

Bent Flyvbjerg, Professor at Oxford University and the IT University of Copenhagen, discusses the influence of strategic misrepresentation on project outcomes, power dynamics within organizations, and case studies from Sydney Opera House, Pixar, and Amazon.

Bent Flyvbjerg, an expert in successful big projects, shares key principles for distinguishing successful projects from failed ones. He emphasizes understanding the odds, planning slow and acting fast, and starting with the end goal in mind. Flyvbjerg's insights help navigate the unknowns and achieve wild ambitions.

Bent Flyvbjerg, renowned megaproject expert, discusses the surprising factors that determine project success. They explore defining 'big things' and the fascination with major projects. The shared interests of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk in scaling up and the Lego principle of achieving big things are also discussed.
