We learn more from our own failures than from the success of others

Summary

“Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?” Voltaire

We, at the Major Projects Association, may not be as wise as Voltaire but we do try very hard to learn from the experience of others and to enable our members to do likewise. In this evening discussion our four panellists will share their stories of learning – from life-threatening situations to crisis management scenarios; as participants in the learning experience and as experts in the field.

We hope that delegates will come armed with their own points of view and be willing to contribute to the richness of the debate. As always we will absorb the discussion from the event and produce our usual Highlights report which will form part of the Major Projects Knowledge Hub which we hope will soon become “the place to go” for Major Project lessons.
