Inter-Organizational Co-Creation

An Approach to Support Energy Transition Projects

Societal challenges such as climate change and inefficiency of energysystems more and more crave for a sustainable environment. Research proved thatrestructuring energy systems into more sustainable forms, called “Energy Transition”, has faced challenges. How to deal with these c ...

Four stages of making project management flexible

Insight, importance, implementation and improvement

Increased project complexity, project dynamics and changes in clients’ requirements are a few examples that suggest the necessity for flexibility in project management in order to deliver successful projects. Despite the fact that literature suggests adding flexibility to project ...

Inter-organizational Co-creation

An approach to support energy transition projects

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of project management flexibility in early project phases on end-project performance including its mediating role on the effect of complexity over project performance. Design/methodology/approach: Out of 13 hypotheses, 6 h ...
Literature defines two main streams in project management: mechanistic and organic. Mechanistic reflects the traditional waterfall approach and organic reflects a more adaptive approach. The organic approach became known by the awareness of dynamic project environment and changin ...

Flexibility in project management

Towards improving project performance

Increasingly it is argued that nowadays a pure project management approach (the conventional project management approach) is no longer effective as it underestimates the influence of the dynamic environment. An approach is needed which recognises the complexities of a project and ...
Scientific literature is rather scarce as comes down on how to deal with Scope Creep (not be confused with Scope Changes) in Infrastructure Projects. However various studies and consulted practitioners in this study have pointed out that Scope Creep is often a root cause of proje ...

How flexible is project management in practice?

An exploratory research into project management of infrastructure projects in construction industry

Nowadays, flexibility of project management attracts practitioners and scholars attention as a must-have quality to enable managing project complexity. Increased complexity of infrastructure projects needs such management approach which takes the (increasing) complexity into acco ...
Starting in the 1990s and still growing is the awareness of the changing and dynamic project environment. Increasingly it is argued that nowadays a pure (conventional) project management approach is no longer effective. Accordingly there is much attention on the embedding of flex ...
Project management is a growing subject and is defined by an expanding body of professional associations, standards, methodologies and tools seeking to reduce failure. Traditionally, the project management process does not distinguish between different types of projects. More rec ...
Still, projects in the construction sector are delivered with time delays and cost overruns. One of the reasons for poor performance was assigned to project complexity. A combination of lean construction and agile project management are hypothesized as a possible solution to cope ...
