October 5th, 2026 – Why Projects Really Fail …

… and the secret strategies professionals use to get them back on track.

That’s the focus of Ante Hamersmit’s presentation on October 5th. He is an engineer, manager, and project management instructor at the HdM in Stuttgart. Before founding ErgebnisSchmiede, he spent 18 years at STIHL in a wide variety of roles, leading and supporting projects – as a team member, manager, and from within the PMO. What he learned along the way: Projects almost never fail because of overly ambitious technical requirements. They fail because of the foundation beneath them.

In his presentation, he’ll explain why traditional reporting focuses on time, cost, and quality – and why that’s only half the story. He reveals which warning signs to watch for and what levers can be used to get a derailed project back on track early on.

Contents of the interactive presentation:

  • What symptoms indicate early on that a project is heading off the rails – long before the traffic light turns red.
  • Why silos, unclear responsibilities, and unspoken assumptions kill more projects than any technological challenge.
  • Why time pressure, of all things, generates momentum – and why it’s worth sticking to a deadline.
  • Why transparency determines success or failure, and what good reporting must achieve.

The event at which the lecture will take place is organized by Wirtschaftsjunioren Rems-Murr e.V. It begins at 6 p.m. and is free of charge.
