Event Detail

Speaker David S. Maurer will talk about his book which explores how the application of project management and crisis leadership principles led to the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis. In the balance was the fate of the entire world. The tumultuous and now famous thirteen days that precipitated the negotiated peaceful resolution have been viewed and reviewed through thousands of interviews, hundreds of books and dozens of documentaries and movies, yet the ordeal has never been analyzed through the lens of project management and crisis leadership. This presentation examines the possible courses of action presented to and conceived by the President and his chosen advisors. On a deeper level, it considers how these advisors formed a team of sorts, identified a leader, developed a process, and presented a set of deliverables (in this case, options) to the President.
