About this Presentation
This presentation shares the story of how the city of Wroclaw, Poland used Critical Chain principles to successfully deliver key infrastructure projects for the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. Alex Klarman explains that the success of this complex mega-program required more than simply changing the scheduling method: TOC thinking tools were used first to identify and address the root causes of disharmony and risk, creating the conditions for CCPM to help guide the program to a successful conclusion.
