Sandy on Talent · 2026-05-14 · 1h 6m
Projects aren't just how work gets done. According to Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, they're how the future gets built. In this episode, Sandy sits down with the world's leading authority on project management, a Thinkers 50 honoree, six-time author, and the originator of the project economy concept, to talk about why most organizations are running too many projects, finishing too few, and paying a steep price for it. Antonio brings decades of on-the-ground experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Fortis Bank, and GSK, and his latest book, Powered by Projects, published by Harvard Business Review Press, gives leaders a concrete framework for turning strategy into results. The conversation covers prioritization, team structure, CEO failure rates, and what Antonio calls "are you crazy" projects. The ones worth betting on.
