The
Great
Project
Study
For the first time, worlds greatest projects, including putting a man on the moon and building the world's tallest building (in 2 years) were studied in direct comparison to each other. The five year study analyzed a set of 18 total projects: 12 great projects and 6 epic failures, with a combined budget of 120 billion dollars.
Regardless of the industry, budget, or era, the Great Project Study shows there is a set of key skills that separate epic failures from great projects.
