  • S8E186: Strategic Misrepresentation with Roger Garrini
    2024/06/23

    In this episode, Roger Garrini discusses the concept of strategic misrepresentation in projects. Strategic misrepresentation refers to deliberately and systematically distorting or misstating information for strategic purposes. It often occurs in bids and tenders, where the desire to win the project leads to telling the customer what they want to hear, even if it's not entirely accurate. Strategic misrepresentation can have harmful consequences, such as wasting time and resources, causing budget overruns, and damaging trust. However, there are also instances where strategic misrepresentation can be beneficial, such as boosting confidence and motivation. The line between acceptable and harmful strategic misrepresentation is subjective and depends on the context and consequences. The conversation explores the challenges of strategic misrepresentation in project management and how it affects project outcomes. The guests discuss the reasons behind misrepresentation, such as political pressures and unrealistic expectations. They also explore the role of technology, particularly AI, in improving project delivery and decision-making. The conversation highlights the importance of data integrity and the need for organisations to create a culture of transparency and accountability. The guests suggest several strategies to address strategic misrepresentation, including better project governance, improved training and education, and a focus on ethical behaviour.
