Abstract

Conventional wisdom has it that projects are useful to manage complex construction or aerospace engineering jobs that are one off but fairly similar in nature. Getting the right components to the right place through appropriately skilled hands is in itself a considerable feat of logistics, posing interesting technical questions. So the focus of project management has been on getting the scheduling and timing of events together but, although this is clearly important in today's increasingly turbulent environment, it is only part of the issue. The modern project leader and team members are being asked to focus on the wider scope of what they do -- 'The Big Picture', and the organisational teamworking context, as well as on their internal procedures and systems.
