Complexity Theory and Project Management

How Successful Organizations Implement Change
The only constant is change—especially in today's business environment. Increasing globalization and the rise of new markets and technologies are forcing companies to compete in a more turbulent world than ever. To survive and thrive, organizations must be able to continuously evolve. Unfortunately, people tend to resist change.

The good news is that change can be managed using the same processes many organizations already use in their day-to-day project management activities. After all, every project results in some type of change to an...

In turn, the portfolio is constantly in flux as difficult decisions are made if a project, for example, is no longer contributing to business ...

Program Management
Program management is a rapidly emerging offshoot of project management. So much so that AT&T, IBM, and other organizations, both large and small in all sectors, have initiated a push to certify program managers.

Applying Guiding Principles of Effective Program Delivery
While today's programs continue to grow in size and complexity, at the same time, their success rates remain low.
