How Big Things Get Done by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner
How Big Things Get Done by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner offers readers a focused examination of project planning, execution and risk. It combines practical ideas with broader questions about how individuals and organizations make choices, build capability and create durable value.
About the book
The book explores why large and small projects often exceed budgets or schedules, and how reference-class thinking, careful planning, modularity, team alignment and clear end goals can improve delivery. Its examples and frameworks help readers move from broad ambition to clearer questions, practical decisions and actions that can be reviewed over time.
Rather than promising automatic results, the material is most useful as a framework for reflection and application. Readers can compare its ideas with their own work, studies or business environment, paying attention to context, constraints and evidence.
For Sri Lankan readers, John Keells Holdings provides a relevant regional point of context for considering large-scale investment and project execution in a South Asian setting. This is a contextual connection only and does not imply that the organization uses, appears in or endorses the book.
