Helpful to those tasked with managing complex environments,
Projects and Complexity introduces a new way of looking at projects
and fostering the culture needed to achieve sustainable results. It
brings together experts from the academic, military, and business
worlds to explore project management in the context of complexity
theory and organizations. These experts explore a systemic and
organic approach to projects that widens the scope of a project
manager s role as well as the tools and capabilities
required.
The book provides readers with an understanding of the roots of
project management in complexity theory and the human sciences. It
explores seven principles of complexity theory and applies them to
project management; examining project needs and features in terms
of success parameters, team and stakeholders perspectives, the
project manager s perspective, and the perspectives of theory and
practice.
- Explores a new humanistic paradigm in thinking about projects
and project management
- Illustrates the culture and philosophy of projects from a range
of perspectives
- Outlines an interdisciplinary approach to Project Management
that integrates scientific and humanistic disciplines
The contributors examine cutting-edge organizational models from
management research and military leadership and map them to project
management. They integrate insights from various disciplines to
introduce tools that are relatively unknown to project managers and
leaders. The book describes a paradigm that is complementary to
traditional project management and also provides you with the
philosophical, general management, and complexity theory findings
needed to lead successful projects in complex environments.
