About this item

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 "This book is important, timely, instructive, and entertaining. What more could you ask for?" - Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize-winning author of Thinking, Fast and Slow "Over-budget and over-schedule is an inevitability. Incompetence and grift is outrageous. Bent Flyvbjerg, with this terrific data-driven book, has shown that there is another way." - Frank Gehry. Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant, new reality. Think of how the Empire State Building went from a sketch to the jewel of New York's skyline in twenty-one months, or how Apple's iPod went from a project with a single employee to a product launch in eleven months.
