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.

In this era of unprecedented political shifts, the global health pandemic, and social justice awakenings, everyone can benefit from having the ability to navigate an evolving socio-political landscape and the needs of an increasingly diverse American population and marketplace.

A new framework: Culturally Relevant Strategy is helping the market-minded to meet these needs. For professionals operating in the project management space, culturally relevant strategy offers important features and benefits.

Taking cues from education pedagogy, this hybrid approach integrates strategy with multi-dimensional research, discourse, critical interpretation, and analysis, to facilitate meaningful outcomes.

Valerie Williams-Sanchez (LinkedIn profile) will help you learn how and much more at this informative presentation.

Typically, empathy is associated more with feelings and less with cognitive function (complex brain activity, such as thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving). But empathy taps into the cognitive skill of mental flexibility.

Mental flexibility is the key to maintaining and advancing brain health as we age. Learn how to leverage agile thinking to generate and discover novel concepts, imagine future problems, and identify solutions from multiple viewpoints.

What You Will Learn

• Understand how empathy is a driver of brain health and learn how to strengthen empathy to improve creativity, innovation, and your competency in grateful leadership.
• Discuss practical ways to break free from stagnant, status quo thinking.
• Learn how to flexibly update ideas and perspectives to generate novel solutions and improve existing processes.

Project managers are regularly confronted with complex and ambiguous situations in their projects.

Ambiguities in projects impact decision making, evoke negative emotions such as stress or anxiety and can have long-term consequences on job satisfaction and burnout.

In this webinar Anna Wiewiora (LinkedIn profile) & Peter O’Connor (LinkedIn profile), will present findings from three interrelated studies on managing ambiguities in projects.

They will present a catalog of ambiguous situations in projects, including types of ambiguities and specific examples of ambiguities in projects.

They will outline and discuss individual, organizational, and situational conditions affecting tolerance of ambiguity, and provide a range of recommendations and strategies for managing ambiguities in projects. Findings from these studies were drawn from the established literature on ambiguities and uncertainties in projects, data from interviews with experienced project managers, and a longitudinal survey with 275 project managers.
