This session explores new research and practice on the leadership and management of giga projects, highlighting the organizational structures, decision-making models, and capability systems required to deliver at extraordinary scale. Featuring perspectives from academia, government, and industry—including Columbia GLCM and PMOGA—the discussion will examine what works, what fails, and what emerging project ecosystems need to look like. Attendees will walk away with actionable frameworks and approaches that can be applied across strategic programs and major development portfolios.

Giga projects are transforming regions, economies, and industries—but their scale introduces unique leadership, governance, and delivery challenges. This webinar brings together Columbia University’s Global Leaders in Construction Management (GLCM), PMOGA, and industry executives to discuss research-driven insights and real-world lessons. Participants will gain practical guidance on how to lead, manage, and govern giga projects more effectively.
