Invited talk at the IPMA Global Best Practice Week 2021!

Resilience practices for large infrastructure projects

In project management, we like to believe that if we only predict the future accurately enough, only plan detailed enough, and only execute disciplined enough, we will be successful. It did not work out last time, but it surely will next time. In a large study of Scandinavian megaprojects, we asked a different question: What happens if we start being honest with ourselves and acknowledge that we will be wrong? We will be presenting 5 key practices to design resilient project execution models that rely neither on supernatural foresight nor dumb luck for success.

My talk is on the 29th, but the 120 EUR ticket gives you access to all three days. It is a very cool program if you are interested in resilience (really, I am actually officially impressed).
