Experiences from a New Logic in Project Management

Abstract

The profound changes in our world during these decades cause difficulties and failures when using the conventional management and project management logic. A new management style has therefore grown up, cut up to the modern turbulent world with its demanding people and many interested parties. The group of new style managers, including project managers, however, has largely no management aids or planning systems, which are cut up to their new logic. Among the very few reported systems in this group, the Successive Principle is probably the most general and widespread. It is taken here as an example for the large potentials of improvements when a manager, his situation and his tools all fit together. This chapter presents an overview of these changes into a new logic and the practical experiences of 15 years applications of this new management logic and related planning systems.
