The episode also examines the chillingly similar case of Zoetic Global—another failed promise in the same city.🎧 Whether you’re a project leader, policymaker, or community advocate, this episode will challenge you to rethink what responsible project management really looks like—and why the lessons we learn must be applied.🔑 Key Topics:The emotional and economic cost of failed projectsLessons in risk, governance, and stakeholder accountabilityWhy "lessons learned" aren't enough without actionA call to project managers to lead with integrity, not just ambitionSubscribe to exclusive bonus episodes and elevate your project management career with insider insights, advanced strategies, and expert guidance!https://www.buzzsprout.com/2308468/subscribe Support the show
