Do you have a big idea? Turn it into real success – not an expensive mistake.
Why do some projects change the world while others end in failure? And what can you do to ensure your project is among the successful ones?
Whether you're planning a new startup, product development, construction, or even just a more complex event, this book will help you avoid the most common mistakes that cost time, money, and reputation.
Combining the cutting-edge research of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg – a world-renowned expert on megaprojects – with the storytelling talent of Dan Gardner, this practical and engaging guide shows you how to bring any project to a successful conclusion. And that without nightmares and unnecessary losses. It will educate and entertain you with a range of illustrative examples from the construction of the Sydney Opera House to Pixar film productions, the development of the iPod, and the failed renovation of a family home in Brooklyn. You will gain specific advice that really works.
What you will learn in the book, among other things:
why to plan slowly but act quickly,
how important it is to think "from right to left",
how to build big things from small ones – and why it's advantageous,
how not to be destroyed by your own self-deception.
