Lessons Learned from High Reliability Organizations: Innovations in Project Management
This presentation by Bjørn Otto Elvenes from NTNU explores the insights gained from High Reliability Organizations (HROs) in managing projects. Highlighting that no project unfolds exactly as planned, Elvenes discusses the reality of project management, including statistics on project success and failure rates. The talk covers how to manage mistakes proactively, containing issues as they arise and building resilience for recovery. Relevant to practitioners attending the International Conference on Technology and Innovation Management in Kathmandu, this session emphasizes proactive strategy and innovative approaches to project challenges.
