Routledge Managing Projects in a World of People, Strategy and Change

Project management is currently at a crossroads, requiring a fresh look at how we approach the initiation, management, and governance of projects, programmes, and change initiatives. This book from the Routledge Frontiers in Project Management series moves the conversation forward by looking beyond standard instrumental methods and prescriptive techniques. Instead of focusing solely on technical processes, this text promotes a context-sensitive approach that prioritizes the human element, organizational strategy, and the reality of change. It explores how projects are designed to deliver specific outputs that can be transformed into meaningful outcomes. These outcomes are essential for meeting the expectations for development and improvement within any professional environment. This resource is designed for those looking to understand how to translate project goals into real-world value. By shifting the focus toward people and strategy, it provides a new way to think about managing complex initiatives in modern business settings.
