About the author
Dan Gardner is a Canadian author and former journalist whose work has examined fear, risk, expert prediction, public policy, and trust. He has also worked in policy institutions and co-written books with researchers including Philip Tetlock and Bent Flyvbjerg.
In How Big Things Get Done, Gardner shapes Flyvbjerg's project database and academic findings into case-led nonfiction. The collaboration connects statistical patterns to decisions a manager or household can recognise before work becomes irreversible.
