Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. **Important, timely, instructive and entertaining Daniel Kahneman, bestselling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow** World expert Bent Flyvbjerg and bestselling author Dan Gardner reveal the secrets to successfully planning and delivering ambitious projects on any scale. Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant new reality. Think of how Apples iPod went from a project with a single employee to an enormously successful product launch in eleven months. But such successes are the exception. Consider how Londons Crossrail project delivered five years late and billions over budget. More modest endeavours, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why? Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the lifes work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg. In How Big Things Get Done, he identifies the errors that lead projects to fail, and the research-based principles that will make yours succeed: * Understand your odds. If you dont know them, you wont win. * Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But its 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. * Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they cant, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can. Full of vivid examples ranging from the building of the Sydney Opera House to the making of the latest Pixar blockbusters, How Big Things Get Done reveals how to get any ambitious project done on time and on budget. **'Entertaining . . . compelling . . . there are lessons here for managers of all stripes' The Economist** Best Books of 2023 The Financial Times and The Economist.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Los secretos para planificar y llevar a cabo con exito proyectos de cualquier envergadura, por el mayor experto munidal en megaproyectos. Nada es mas inspirador que una ambiciosa vision que se convierte en una realidad triunfante: el Empire State Building paso de ser un boceto a cambiar el skyline de Nueva York en tan solo veintiun meses. Sin embargo, la mayoria de las veces las grandes visiones se convierten en autenticas pesadillas: segun las estadisticas, un asombroso 92 por ciento de los megaproyectos superan el presupuesto o el cronograma, o ambas cosas. Incluso los esfuerzos mas modestos, como emprender un pequeno negocio, suelen fracasar. Por que? El profesor de la Universidad de Oxford Bent Flyvbjerg ha dedicado su vida a comprender que distingue a esos pocos triunfos entre tantos fracasos. En Como hacer grandes cosas identifica los errores de juicio y la toma de decisiones equivocadas que llevan al naufragio de los proyectos, ya sean grandes o pequenos. Y muestra como tus propios proyectos tienen mas posibilidades de exito si aplicas los principios que el mismo ha investigado durante decadas. Repleto de inolvidables ejemplos que van desde la construccion de la Opera de Sidney y la creacion de los ultimos exitos de taquilla de Pixar, hasta la desastrosa reforma de una casa en Brooklyn, este libro es una guia indispensable para cualquier persona que planee un proyecto ambicioso.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe secrets to successfully planning and delivering projects on any scalefrom home renovation to space explorationby the worlds leading expert on megaprojects.

But most of the time big visions turn into nightmares. Remember Bostons Big Dig? Almost every sizeable city in the world has such a fiasco in its backyard. In fact, no less than 92% of megaprojects come in over budget or over schedule, or both.
