A few months ago Secretary Pete Buttigieg referenced Prof. Bent Flyvbjerg's work while opening the Kansas City International Airport's new terminal, saying: "There's a new body of research that's come out analyzing billion dollar plus projects. The proportion of them that are completed in a way that meets the promised benefits, happens on time, and arrives at or under budget is less than 1%." Now, Secretary Buttigieg has invited Prof. Flyvbjerg to kick off a webinar series on the importance of infrastructure project delivery. I hope you'll consider registering for this event and for the webinar series that follows: https://lnkd.in/gGn9Ahhf Having worked with Penguin Random House on Prof. Flyvbjerg's latest book, "How Big Things Get Done," and on scaling Oxford Global Projects advisory services around the globe, I am certain the discussion will be informative and insightful for all who attend. On a personal note, it is truly validating to see Prof. Flyvbjerg and Dr. Alexander Budzier’s work discussed at the highest levels. These ideas and methodologies matter. Infrastructure investments - in my home state of Missouri, across the USA, and around the world - are investments in future generations. The better we deliver projects today, the better world we build for tomorrow.
