How Big Things Get Done: The Surprising Factors Behind Every Successful Project, from Home Renovations to Space Exploration is a non-fiction book by Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg. It draws on research and real-world case studies to examine what helps complex projects succeed.
Big ambitions can be compelling, yet projects of every scale frequently run late, run over budget, or fail to land as intended. Bent Flyvbjerg sets out the recurring errors that derail delivery, contrasting standout successes with cautionary examples.
Alongside vivid case studies, he presents practical principles: understanding the odds before committing, taking time to plan before moving quickly into execution, working backwards from the end goal, building big outcomes from smaller components, and addressing “unknown unknowns” rather than assuming they cannot be managed. Suitable for readers involved in delivering projects at work or at home, as well as anyone interested in how major undertakings are planned and executed.
