The Smart Mission: NASA's Lessons for Managing Knowledge, People, and Projects
Join us for a captivating book discussion with authors of "The Smart Mission: NASA's Lessons for Managing Knowledge, People, and Projects."
In their latest book, authors and project management experts Edward Hoffman and Larry Prusak challenge the conventional wisdom on project management, positioning human skills, knowledge, and expertise - not controls, processes, and tools - as the main drivers of success in today's project-based workplace. During this engaging conversation, the authors will draw on examples from NASA and other leading organizations across industries and around the globe to illustrate how successful organizations leverage knowledge-based cultures to execute successful projects at micro, macro, and global scales. Join us on Wednesday, March 29th, at 8:15 pm ET, either in person at Columbia’s Faculty House or via Livestream on Zoom. A networking reception for guests will follow the in-person discussion.
