Unfortunately\, o n the night of December 28th\, 1879\, in one of the worst storms in living memory\, the bridge collapsed\, taking with it the Edinburgh train and 59 passengers. The subsequent public inquiry and later analysis identified s everal technical failures caused by greed and lack of leadership as the ke y reasons for the bridge failure. In this thought-provoking presentation \, Jim Benvie\, a noted project management historian\, will recount the ev ents that led to one of the most disastrous physical and ethical project m anagement failures in human history. Learning Outcomes will include:• A project manager’s responsibility to ensure public safety above that of f inancial gain.• The importance of the selection and supervision of a com petent workforce.• “The first principle is that you must not fool your self and you are the easiest person to fool.” Richard Feynman So\, joi n Jim Benvie and other project managers and leaders to learn how you can t ake lessons learned from project management history to improve your projec t outcomes.
