Developing managers in the project‐oriented organization
Abstract
Examines the changing structure and culture of organizations in current times and the development towards a more project‐oriented way of operating. Describes how projects can act as multi‐purpose vehicles for achieving personal management development, as well as providing tangible business benefits and help achieve change and organizational learning. Explores the use of information technology networks for supporting projects, capturing learning outcomes and introducing new ways of working. Reviews how projects help to change organizational culture by questioning existing assumptions, by communicating and applying new ideas and by developing new operating assumptions.
