Agreed. I have no idea how to manage 100 people, nor how to utilize 100 people in any effective way.

I guess I would be hacking the challenge by holding some clumsy event on the first day or two where we sorted into 5 to 20 different teams, and then got to work on a lot of things in parallel. And then people could switch around between teams as interested or as they might use their skills.

I think it's a fair assumption to say one of those hundred would have the experience to manage the other 99, and allow you to play stakeholder, not project director. That said, hard to imagine getting a lot done in 3 months with a 100 person program.

That’s exactly it. It’s more the 100 day part that is restrictive. It takes a lot of time and effort to get 100 people working effectively.

Here's a book recommendation if you're not sure how to manage these 100 people. You don't have to. Just facilitate them to identify what to work on, then to go and work on it.
