Manage This | Episode 202 | Decoding Megaprojects: Insights with Bent Flyvbjerg (Part 2)

In this second part of our conversation with Bent Flyvbjerg, about his research, and his latest book, “How Big Things Get Done” we dive deeper into some more key concepts that shape project management across various industries. We start by exploring the idea of “Pixar Planning,” a method inspired by Pixar Studios’ approach to making movies. This concept emphasizes the importance of thinking slow and acting fast, leveraging iterative processes to refine projects efficiently and inexpensively. Next, we tackle the concept of modularity, highlighting its crucial role in project scalability and risk mitigation. Bent emphasizes the significance of standardized, modular approaches in driving efficiency and reducing the frequency and severity of project failures. Drawing parallels to the transformation of the shipping industry through containerization, Bent underscores the power of modular thinking in revolutionizing entire sectors. Bent is the most cited scholar in the world in project and program management and included on Stanford University’s prestigious Top 2% of most cited scholars in the world. He maintains that by embracing modular, iterative approaches, project managers can position themselves for long-term success and impact. Join us as we continue to unpack insights from Bent Flyvbjerg’s research and explore practical strategies for project management success.
