Although project management is a newly recognised profession, it
deals with a number of significant challenges. We seem to operate
in an unprecedented environment, rife with change, innovation and
turbulence. Moreover, projects by their very nature tend to push
boundaries, encourage novelty and demand engagement with the
uncertain and the unknown. Indeed, projects reflect our organised
impulse to constantly amend, shape, improve and refine our context.
So how can future projects overcome the challenges? Rethinking
Project Management for a Dynamic and Digital World makes a powerful
and original statement equipping project leaders and managers with
new approaches and frameworks for an increasingly demanding world
where the traditional methods, models and mindsets no longer
suffice. The book explores new trends, promising ideas and novel
concepts and distils the fundamentals for marshalling a world
concerned with people, communities and value by deploying
innovation, rethinking purpose and acting responsibly. An
increasingly borderless, upwardly mobile and entrepreneurial
society requires a revamped and revitalised project perspective
that is more dynamic, adaptive and reflective. This volume brings
together some of the best writing by leading authorities on many
key topics, including benchmarking, lean quality, communicating,
teams and teamwork, followership, organising for project work,
project frameworks, agile working, project portfolios, strategic
initiatives, strategic alignment, trust, entrepreneurship, putting
people first, social processes, positive organisations, rethinking
progress, the hacker paradigm, community, stewardship and knowledge
management. The collection thus offers an invaluable new resource
for informed managers looking to engage with the latest thinking
and research and for researchers seeking to reflect on how the
discipline is changing.
