During the leading business futurologist Andrian Slywotzky’s courses at Lviv Business School of UCU (LvBS), each and every group was given a task by the author: to write a list of reasons why projects fail and then to take a new project for their company and contemplate why the launch of this new project might appear unsuccessful. Such an exercise is of great practical application since it is possible to have steps and actions right at each point as well as in what way this or that risk factor may be reduced to a minimum.
LvBS team has done this exercise not once, and recommend you do! We also recommend you watch Ocean’s 11 for the inspiration and to gain what elements are vital for success of the project.
For what concerns the School, we have made such a list. We invite you to share your own expertise via social networks!
