Los secretos para planificar y llevar a cabo con ?xito proyectos de cualquier envergadura, por el mayor experto munidal en megaproyectos.
Nada es m?s inspirador que una ambiciosa visi?n que se convierte en una realidad triunfante: el Empire State Building pas? de ser un boceto a cambiar el skyline de Nueva York en tan solo veinti?n meses. Sin embargo, la mayor?a de las veces las grandes visiones se convierten en aut?nticas pesadillas: seg?n las estad?sticas, un asombroso 92 por ciento de los megaproyectos superan el presupuesto o el cronograma, o ambas cosas. Incluso los esfuerzos m?s modestos, como emprender un peque?o negocio, suelen fracasar. Por qu?? El profesor de la Universidad de Oxford Bent Flyvbjerg ha dedicado su vida a comprender qu? distingue a esos pocos triunfos entre tantos fracasos. En C?mo hacer grandes cosas identifica los errores de juicio y la toma de decisiones equivocadas que llevan al naufragio de los proyectos, ya sean grandes o peque?os. Y muestra c?mo tus propios proyectos tienen m?s posibilidades de ?xito si aplicas los principios que ?l mismo ha investigado durante d?cadas.
Repleto de inolvidables ejemplos que van desde la construcci?n de la ?pera de S?dney y la creaci?n de los ?ltimos ?xitos de taquilla de Pixar, hasta la desastrosa reforma de una casa en Brooklyn, este libro es una gu?a indispensable para cualquier persona que planee un proyecto ambicioso.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The secrets to successfully planning and delivering projects on any scalefrom home renovation to space explorationby the worlds 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 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 Yorks skyline in twenty-one months, or how Apples iPod went from a project with a single employee to a product launch in eleven months.
These are wonderful stories. But most of the time big visions turn into nightmares. Remember Bostons Big Dig? Almost every sizeable city in the world has such a fiasco in its backyard. In fact, no less than 92% of megaprojects come in over budget or over schedule, or both. The cost of Californias high-speed rail project soared from billion to billonand wont even go where promised. More modest endeavors, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why?
Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the lifes work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg, dubbed the worlds leading megaproject expert. In How Big Things Get Done, he identifies the errors in judgment and decision-making that lead projects, both big and small, to fail, and the research-based principles that will make you succeed with yours. For example:
Understand your odds. If you dont know them, you wont win.
Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But its wrong.
Think right to left. Start with your goal, then identify the steps to get there.
Find your Lego. Big is best built from small.
Be a team maker. You wont succeed without an us.
Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they cant, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can.
Know that your biggest risk is you.
Full of vivid examples ranging from the building of the Sydney Opera House to the making of the latest Pixar blockbusters, to a home renovation in Brooklyn gone awry, How Big Things Get Done reveals how to get any ambitious project doneon time and on budget.
