The Project Insider Asia series pilot. Why do megaprojects fail when the warning signs are visible? This episode introduces the recurring pattern behind the collapses examined in our Boeing 737 MAX, Berlin Brandenburg Airport and NHS National IT Programme investigations — incentive misalignment, broken escalation and missing assurance — and the evidence-led toolkit used to reconstruct them.

In this series pilot, host Ramesh Dixit introduces the Failure Pyramid — how collapses actually happen — and the three breakdowns behind them: incentive misalignment, broken escalation and missing assurance.
