Open the Megaproject Black Box and Avoid Billion-Dollar Disasters
Despite decades of analysis, thousands of reports, myriad methodologies, and countless experts, major and megaprojects (those over $1 billion) and change initiatives keep failing, Why?
Gorilla in the Cockpit offers a revolutionary way to understand megaproject failures. It opens the Black Box to reveal the hidden drivers of project crashes. The root causes cannot be found in traditional project management books. They are neither technical nor financial. They are human.
Gorilla in the Cockpit doesn't stop at diagnostics and explanations. It offers a solution based on the latest discoveries in neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and behavioral economics, with practical application to real-life projects. Its systematic framework encompasses all steps of leading and managing megaprojects, from design to procurement, stakeholder management to execution, and handover to sustainability.
Learn how to:
- Challenge how you see, approach, and lead megaprojects—and massive change programs in your organizations.
- Expose the hidden human patterns that destroy billions (and trillions) of shareholder value and taxpayer money each year.
- Show a revolutionary way of understanding what happens in the project Black Box and why this drives 65% failure rates.
- Explode the myth that major project failure is inevitable.
- De-Risk your project flight path and boost your project success rate using a solution based on the latest neuroscience, psycholinguistics and behavioral economics.
