Intimidating scope
No resources
Time constraints
Uncoordinated team
Too many problems
Unclear objectives
Hostile groups trying to close project
No executive sponsor

- 5. Imagine life as Allied Airman shot down during World War II, in
a Prisoner of War (PoW) camp.
Bailing out
– Hostile population
Captured by Luftwaffe
– Interrogation
– Monitored by Gestapo
Behind barbed wire
– No outside news
Scrutinized 24 hours a day
– Continuous surveillance
– No privacy
– Communications censored
Length in captivity
– 1940-1944

- 6. Consider the living conditions as a PoW
Climate
– -25C to +25C
Daily calorie intake
– Rec. 3,000, actual 1,500 - 1,900
• Breakfast – 2 slices of bread, jam,
ersatz coffee
• Lunch - Watery soup
• Dinner – 2 slices of bread
Daily regime
– Roll call twice, morning and night
– Boredom
Hygene
– Cold water only
– Fleas lice, scabies, and bed bugs

- 7. Living conditions as a PoW were grueling to harsh
No extra clothing
Living space
– 600 PoWs, 60 acres.
– 1 heater/hut – 1 coal lump/person
Cooler
– 5-15 days, harassment and beatings
Diseases
– 40% - Upper Respiratory
– 20% - War wounds (fractures)
– 10% - Gastrointestinal
– 10% - Skin
– 10% - Diphtheria
– 10% - Other

- 8. So what were the options for individual POWs, some
imprisoned for 4 years.
Wait war out
– Atrocious conditions
– Hope right side wins
– Hope Gestapo don’t call
– Psychological stress
Try and escape
– Wage war
– Give men hope
Lessons for
today – weigh
up the
options.

- 9. There were short and long term benefits in organizing an
escape.
Lessons for today – clearly state short and long term organizational benefits
Camp population:
– 25% escapers (5% dedicated), 75% support
Short term:
– Occupy men, give goal, restore confidence in leaders
Long term:
– Psychological battle, tie down enemy resources
– Expand war, demoralize enemy

With tight security escape was thought impossible.
In April 1943 PoWs were moved to the
new North Compound.
An intact “Escape Committee” moved in
(Stakeholder Management)
Lessons from previous escapes
Escapes:
1. Well planned and organized
2. Well executed
3. Change managed
Beat many complex problems

Feasibility
– Idea, approach, proposal, ROI
– Checkpoint 1- assess risk, resources
Planning and Design
– High level plan
– Preparation for escape
Production
– Preparation of Tunnel
– Engineering
– Construction and testing
– Checkpoint 2 - Assess risk
Implementation and Startup
– Implement escape
– Checkpoint 3 - Assess risk
– Collect metrics and determine success
– Consider rerun (reuse)

- 58. Lessons learned – the positives from the project
Limited material resources
– Everything saved
Decentralized organization
– 600 men were engaged
High performance team
– Committed to cause
Lessons for today – nothing is
impossible
Ad hoc group used diverse talents
Extraordinarily difficult task
– Adverse circumstances
Problems solved
– Continuous innovation

- 59. Lessons learned downside - Airmen - Australia, Canada,
France, Greece, Holland, Norway, Poland, South Africa, &UK
No rerun
– Poor ROI, massive
investment
Attention to
implementation
– Priority to greatest
contributors
– March best month?
– Many escapers
drew attention?
No withdrawal plan
– Tunnel too short
– No stopping
– Emotions
unchecked, desire
to get out
Effective Project
Management?
59
Lessons for today – pay attention to all phases of project
Project Lessons from the Great Escape

- 60. Lessons learned – Too much focus on the tunnel and its
construction
Project Objectives
– Clear at outset, unclear in hindsight
– Game or sport
WWII 30 of 10,000 RAF airmen reached safety.
17% of PoWs died in German camps.
Escapes more dangerous but continued.

“This book and others by Mark
Kozak-Holland are a
tremendous resource for
educators-the stark reality of
failed projects and Mark’s
detailed research, historical
accuracy, and the link to the
BOK, helps us to analyze and
understand we are not alone in
managing our complex projects
today. The incredible
resourcefulness and bravery of
these men gives us hope on our
own troubled projects.
