Project management, a relatively recent profession, faces numerous significant challenges. We find ourselves operating in an unprecedented environment characterized by constant change, innovation, and turbulence. Moreover, projects inherently push boundaries, encourage novelty, and demand engagement with the uncertain and unknown. Indeed, projects reflect our innate desire to continuously amend, shape, improve, and refine our context. Therefore, how can future projects overcome these challenges?

Rethinking Project Management for a Dynamic and Digital World offers a compelling and innovative perspective, equipping project leaders and managers with new approaches and frameworks for a world that demands more than traditional methods, models, and mindsets. The book explores emerging trends, promising ideas, and novel concepts, distilling the essential fundamentals for marshaling a world focused on people, communities, and value through the deployment of innovation, rethinking purpose, and acting responsibly.

In an increasingly borderless, upwardly mobile, and entrepreneurial society, a revamped and revitalized project perspective is imperative. This volume brings together some of the finest writing by leading authorities on various key topics, including benchmarking, lean quality, communication, teams and teamwork, followership, organizing for project work, project frameworks, agile working, project portfolios, strategic initiatives, strategic alignment, trust, entrepreneurship, putting people first, social processes, positive organizations, rethinking progress, the hacker paradigm, community, stewardship, and knowledge management.
