Communications Pitfalls and Solutions from the Big Dig

Join us for a riveting conversation with seasoned PM and author, Donna Gregorio, as she unpacks one of America's most notorious megaprojects—Boston's infamous Big Dig. What began as a visionary transportation solution ballooned into a case study of project management gone wrong, with costs exploding from $2.8 billion to a staggering $22 billion.

In this episode of The Everyday PM Podcast, Donna reveals:

  • The critical communication breakdowns that derailed the Big Dig's timeline and budget
  • How implementing clear Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) could have kept this massive project on track
  • Practical problem-framing techniques that bridge the gap between technical experts and project stakeholders
  • Essential communication strategies that today's project managers can apply to their complex initiatives


Whether you're managing a high-profile infrastructure project or a small team initiative, Donna's insights will transform how you approach stakeholder communication and problem-solving. Don't miss this masterclass in turning project communication pitfalls into pathways for success!
