The traditional way of leading projects by planning, progress reports and controlling measures fits less and less well with the requirements of flexibility and creativity in today’s organizations. These attempts to plan and control are not only inadequate, they also tend to lead us down the wrong path. With Organizing Projects, we show an alternative way of organizing and managing projects. We discuss how this can be done and why we think it leads to better results than the methods currently being used. The inspiration for this book largely derives from research on projects and from our studies of the theories of chaos and complexity. We have used this research and information together with our own experiences from a large number of projects in different environments. Our conclusion is that it is time for a new approach to project work and project leadership, which better suites the challenges of today’s work place.
