So many businesses, small and global, are driven by visions of size and a desire to push boundaries. Risk is an important part of any enterprise, but do those leading their businesses consider the possibility of the worst happening, and plan to avoid it? Do we place too much trust in those at the helm, and those who wrote the rules? This book focusses on the White Star Line, Harland & Wolff, the people who ran them, and the pressures they encountered. It follows the structure of a business project through to its transition to operations, and uses the story of the Olympic and Titanic to bring out points that are still common and relevant to businesses and organisations in the twenty first century.
