How to manage complex projects - an adaptive approach highlighting the Human Factor and Information Management and Communication

Abstract

Many industries are experiencing an acceleration in innovation and technology development. This is causing projects to increasingly become more demanding and complex to manage. Influencing factors such as rapid technological advancement, multicultural cooperation and high-tech innovations are providing new elements of complexity to the industries. As projects increase in complexity the likelihood of project success decreases. In light of that new theories, approaches and models are being developed to better understand and accommodate project challenges related to complexity.
