"How Big Things Get Done" by Bent Flyvbjerg explores the reasons behind the frequent failures of big projects and provides research-based principles to help ensure success. Flyvbjerg, known as the "world's leading megaproject expert," draws on his expertise to identify common errors in judgment and decision-making that lead to budget overruns, delays, and failures in projects of all sizes.
The book emphasizes key principles for success, such as understanding the odds, planning deliberately, thinking strategically, building from small to big, fostering teamwork, and addressing unknown unknowns. Through vivid examples ranging from the construction of the Sydney Opera House to the making of Pixar blockbusters, Flyvbjerg illustrates how these principles can be applied to various projects.
Whether you're involved in a large-scale megaproject or a smaller endeavor like a home renovation, "How Big Things Get Done" provides valuable insights to help you navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and increase the likelihood of achieving your project goals on time and within budget.
