Central to the issue of improving project performance is the
application of deterministic, probabilistic processes, and
techniques to reduce human error. To that end, we as project
managers often endeavour to implement and follow a project
management methodology in the belief that we can reduce the scope
for emerging ambiguous requirements, ill-matched resource needs and
availability, contractual and funding constraints, and other
unwanted uncertainties. However, such 'self-evidently correct'
processes are not without their limitations. The management of
uncertainty needs to be viewed not from a procedural, 'stand-alone'
perspective but from a behavioural, people-driven perspective -
that is, Mindfulness. Mindfulness is a project-wide human
capability to anticipate key events from emerging trends,
constantly adapt to change, and rapidly bounce back from adversity.
Resilient project managers are forward-thinking and able to foresee
relevant scenarios that are likely to occur and which may have
damaging effects on performance. We strive to be prepared for the
best but also for the worst, and learning is nurtured and
encouraged. We believe that with purpose, whatever uncertainty hits
us, and regardless of the damage caused, we can prevent a crisis
from happening in the first place. When a crisis occurs, we can
recover and bounce back from shocks, quickly restoring 'normal'
management. This book goes beyond commonly accepted standards in
project management and looks past mere compliance to determinism
and probabilistic approaches to managing uncertainty. Relying on
the power of mindful thinking, it identifies an art to manage
uncertainty.
