When you are building into the sky where no building has gone before, you have to be creative with planning and problem-solving. Super-tall buildings are all the rage now, with the kilometer height milestone set to be broken in Saudi Arabia in 2022. The first mile-high tower is being proposed for Tokyo, Japan.
June PM Network puts you in the project manager’s hot seat, showing you the challenges you might face erecting these Herculean structures. The key risks to mitigate are logistics (moving so much material in and out on schedule), worker safety and the effects of wind.
Are projects in your industry pushing the envelope? How, as project managers, do you deal with that? Please discuss in the comment section below.

The drive to the cloud is a scary one, that involves understanding a technology that most can't conceptualize. Best way I have found to deal with it is digging in to truly understand the project/technology that I can parrot it back to the client. I create the common language for others to communicate.

More and more project push the limits in various ways, tightening the schedule, tall building, complex structure, more stakeholders
