Why this course exists
Projects fail to deliver on time not because of some unforeseen event, but because project acceleration has never been taught as a science. This course, based on Greg Lawton’s book The Physics of Project Acceleration, shows you how acceleration really works: mathematically, practically, and predictably.
You will learn the complete framework of 8 types of acceleration, 4 methods, and 33 techniques, along with the missteps to avoid, so you can deliver projects faster and with confidence.
What you will learn
- The philosophy behind acceleration and why we accelerate models, not the real world
- How physics explains project acceleration through curves, variability, and limits
- The Acceleration Equation and the four levers that drive project speed
- The 33 acceleration techniques across Path Crashing, Uncertainty Control, Risk Control, and System Information
- Why predictability is the hidden accelerator that builds trust with stakeholders
- How to apply acceleration in practice with teams, processes, and change management
Why it matters
Practical
Lessons with tools and examples you can use immediately
Rigorous
Grounded in physics and maths, not vague management talk
Real
Illustrated with milestones and missteps from real projects
Transformative
Shifts how you think about schedules, risks, and strategy
