Link Between Strategy Discovery & Sydney Opera House Nothing prepares you for the beauty of the Sydney Opera House. Its location in a gorgeous harbour with water on three sides is breath taking. My book, Strategy Discovery, has travelled to "see" it. Building the Sydney Opera House wasn't like the usual construction. It was a journey of discovery. Nothing like it had been built before and the engineering challenges were immense. This is just part of its journey: "The entire construction period of the Sydney Opera House was beset with problems. First, the podium was found to be not strong enough to support the shells and needed extensive reworking as early as 1963. Then the problem of the shells, which were elliptical, parabolic and finally spherical, took six years to resolve." The whole project took 14 years to complete and, of course, was way over budget. And what does this have to do with Strategy Discovery? Put simply, 1) you learn as you go and 2) you learn from outsiders. So, the next time you embark on your strategic planning workshop just remember it's always a work-in-progress. You won't have all the answers when you finish. Don't expect to. If you'd like to know more, the link to my book is in the comments below. Cheers.

💡DID YOU KNOW?💡 💸 From 7 to 102 Million: The Sydney Opera House Budget Leap! 💸 The original budget for the Sydney Opera House was AUD 7 million, but by the time it was completed in 1973, the cost had ballooned to AUD 102 million!!! 😲 This illustrates a phenomenon known as "cost overrun," which is quite common in large projects, where the actual cost far exceeds the initial estimates. The Sydney Opera House is a famous example, showcasing how difficult it can be to accurately estimate the total cost of a big project. Predicting the total cost of complex projects involves a combination of thorough planning, continuous monitoring, and flexibility. It requires a balance between detailed upfront planning and adaptability to change! #ProjectManagement #CostPlanning #SydneyOperaHouse #CostEstimation #RabelloEngineering
