Description

Big projects often end in disappointment, but what sets the successes apart from the failures? Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg has spent his career studying the factors that determine the fate of every project, from home renovations to space exploration. In "How Big Things Get Done", he is joined by Dan Gardner, bringing his storytelling skills to the fore. The result is a fascinating exploration of the surprising factors that influence project outcomes, with examples ranging from the Sydney Opera House to a Jimi Hendrix studio.
