Summary:
"Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the life’s work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg, dubbed 'the world’s leading megaproject expert.' In
How
Big
Things
Get
Done
, he identifies the errors in judgment and decision-making that lead projects, both
big
and small, to fail, and the research-based principles that will make you succeed with yours. For example: Understand your odds. If you don't know them, you won't win. -- Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But it's wrong. -- Think right to left. Start with your goal, then identify the steps to
get
there. -- Find your Lego.
Big
is best built from small. -- Be a team maker. You won't succeed without an 'us.' -- Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they can't, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows
how
you can. -- Know that your biggest risk is you."
