"This book contains secrets for successfully planning and executing projects of any scale, shared by the world’s leading expert on megaprojects. Nothing is more inspiring than a grand vision that becomes a new and triumphant reality. Consider how the Empire State Building went from a sketch to a jewel on the New York City skyline in just 21 months, or how Apple’s iPod evolved from a project staffed by a single employee into a product launch in only 11 months. According to statistics, however, 92% of megaprojects exceed their budget, schedule, or both. Even more modest efforts—such as launching a small business—frequently fail. Why? Bent Flyvbjerg, Professor at the University of Oxford, has devoted his life to understanding what distinguishes the few triumphs from the many failures. In How to Achieve Great Things, Flyvbjerg identifies the judgment errors and poor decisions that lead to project failure—whether large or small—and shows how your own plans are likely to succeed if you apply the principles he has researched over decades."
