The first engineering projects I joined were massive, ambitious, and awe-inspiring. There’s something unforgettable about being part of a megaproject—feeling the energy of big teams and big ideas. Yet, as I grew in my career, I realized I also enjoyed the focus and creativity of smaller, more agile projects. Still, there’s always a warm place in my heart for those huge undertakings—who doesn’t want to be young, bold, and awesome sometimes?
This course is about what really drives the development and scaling of megaprojects—and what it takes to lead game-changing initiatives, whether you’re dreaming up a visionary system or refining a minimal viable product (MVP). It’s not about theory, but about the realities, mindsets, and practical tools that help you scale ideas efficiently, from humble beginnings to global impact.
What you’ll learn:
The Psychology and Challenge of Scale:
Explore what it means—personally and professionally—to take on big, bold projects. Discover the drivers, excitement, and pressures unique to megaprojects, and how to decide if this is your path.
Feasibility, Resilience, and Impact:
Master techniques for evaluating project feasibility, anticipating long-term effects, and building resilience—so your projects don’t just launch, but last.
Fail-Faster and Reframe:
Embrace fail-faster strategies, strategic experimentation, and learn to reframe weaknesses into strengths. See how fast iteration and thoughtful risk-taking can set the stage for success.
Engineering Excellence and “WOW” Factor:
Learn modular thinking, best engineering practices, and how to maintain excitement, innovation, and the “WOW” factor—even as your project scales up.
From Sci-Fi Vision to Reality:
Use science fiction as inspiration for tomorrow’s systems, and learn how to pitch, plan, and tell the story of your project so others want to join you.
People, Specs, Budgets, and PR:
Go beyond the tech: manage teams, resources, timelines, and public perception. Gain tools for building trust, communicating vision, and handling both scrutiny and celebration.
Lifecycle, Redundancy, and Risk:
Build strategies for risk mitigation, system redundancy, and legacy planning. Learn how to scale down when needed and what to do when projects fall short—or even fail.
Dedicated Modules:
Explore themes like Transhumanism, Mega Art, and the emotional side of scaling up or down, gaining a panoramic view of the opportunities and pitfalls in this world.
By the end, you’ll know how to triple the efficiency of scaling your ideas—from MVPs to megaprojects—and make smart decisions about what scale is right for you and your ambitions.
