ALL CONTENT IN GOOD CONDITION. The secrets to successfully planning and executing projects of any scale, from the world's leading expert on megaprojects.\r\n\r\nNothing is more inspiring than an ambitious vision becoming a reality—the Empire State Building went from a sketch to changing the New York skyline in just 21 months. However, most grand visions rarely become reality. According to statistics, a staggering 92 percent of megaprojects go over budget or over schedule, or both. Even more modest endeavors, like starting a small business, often fail. Why? Oxford University professor Bent Flyvbjerg has dedicated his life to understanding what distinguishes those few successes from so many failures. In How to Do Great Things, he identifies the errors in judgment and poor decision-making that lead to the downfall of projects, whether large or small. And he shows how your own projects have a greater chance of success if you apply the principles he has researched for decades.\r\n\r\nPacked with unforgettable examples ranging from the construction of the Sydney Opera House and the creation of Pixar's latest blockbusters to the disastrous renovation of a Brooklyn home, this book is an indispensable guide for anyone planning an ambitious project. The secrets to successfully planning and delivering projects on any scale—from home renovation to space exploration—by the world's leading expert on megaprojects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bent Flyvbjerg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50419146457336,"sku":"BE500680941214","price":21.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/8378\/2793\/files\/BE500680941214.jpg?v=1788342325","url":"https:\/\/bookends.ae\/de\/products\/be500680941214","provider":"Online Book Store – Bookends","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
