Managing Large-Scale Investment Projects

Course Description

Large, multi-billion dollar "mega" transportation projects can fundamentally change how we move people and goods, but they are tough to deliver – requiring decades to develop, complex capital structures, sophisticated technology solutions, highly technical engineering, advanced construction methods, consensus across diverse stakeholders, and overcoming difficult environmental and legal challenges.  This course explores strategies for bringing these types of projects to fruition.
