A Fireside Chat With Professor Bent Flyvbjerg On His New Book

Join us for this exclusive event to APM corporate partners to hear Professor Bent Flyvberg (LinkedIn profile) discussing his new book, How Big Things Get Done.

Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant new reality.

Think of how Apple’s iPod went from a project with a single employee to an enormously successful product launch in eleven months. But such successes are the exception.

Consider how London’s Crossrail project delivered five years late and billions over budget. More modest endeavours, 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 life’s work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg. In How Big Things Get Done, he identifies the errors that lead projects to fail, and the research-based principles that will make yours succeed:

• Understand your odds. If you don’t know them, you won’t win.
• Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But it’s 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.
• Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they can’t, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can.

Inflation is causing vendors to increase the rates they charge. However, determining what price increases are legit or for vendor growth goals has become unclear or difficult.

You need to ask the right questions to identify the root cause of price increases that are blamed on inflation. Cost modeling incorporates data points from economic indicators to help you analyze the fairness of price increases.

Jpim JoAnn Rosenberger (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst in this IT webinar looks at how you can include these cost models in your negotiation strategy and playbook to optimize vendor deals and create bargaining power despite apparent rising costs.

Discussion Topics:

• Require vendors to provide root-cause cost details on price increases
• Use economic indicator data in cost modeling to determine the fairness of new deal and renewal pricing
• Include cost models in your negotiation playbook as powerful tools for leverage and bargaining power
