Description
Businesses today can struggle to adjust to the unprecedented level of change that is taking place as a result of the growing role of technology, the Internet, and the global marketplace. For organizations to survive and thrive in the global economy, we must find ways to dramatically improve the performance of large-scale projects.
Managing Complex Projects: A New Model offers an innovative way of looking at projects, treating them as complex adaptive systems that are themselves part of even larger complex systems-the organization and the global economy. By applying the principles of complexity thinking, project managers and leadership teams will learn to successfully manage significant, large-scale initiatives.
This book explains step-by-step how to use the Project Complexity Model to determine the approach needed to manage all aspects of a project based on the level of complexity involved.
