Über diesen Titel
In complex programmes, plans are essential but they are not reality. This episode explores what leadership looks like when the schedule no longer reflects the system you’re trying to deliver.
We discuss why plans fail in complex, regulated environments, not because of poor planning, but because of emergence, interdependencies, and late discovery. Using a real-world example, the episode shows how protecting the plan can sometimes create bigger problems downstream, especially during design reviews and system integration.
The key message is that control in complexity doesn’t come from stricter adherence to the plan or greener dashboards. It comes from understanding the system, questioning assumptions, and making deliberate trade-offs.
When the plan stops being the point, leadership shifts from managing milestones to orienting people, surfacing risk early, and adapting intelligently—while keeping the outcome firmly in focus.
