Listen "Big Projects Fail Big: What about AI?"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to my latest podcast – Big Projects Fail Big. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of mega-projects - those ambitious, complex, and often controversial undertakings that promise to reshape our world. From high-speed rail networks to Olympic venues, these grand visions capture our imagination but all too often end up as cautionary tales. In particular, I will focus on why these same characteristics apply to AI Projects.
Drawing on the groundbreaking research of Professor Bent Flyvbjerg, we'll explore why these projects so frequently go off the rails, blowing past budgets and deadlines with alarming regularity. Get ready to uncover the cognitive biases, political pressures, and inherent complexities that turn dream projects into potential nightmares. Whether you're a project manager, policy maker, or just fascinated by how big things get built (or don't), this episode will change how you think about ambition, risk, and the delicate art of turning visionary ideas into reality.
