Explaining Complex Systems: Like Watching Star Wars 4

January 29, 09 //

When you start looking at projects as complex systems, you are enlightened and confused at the same time. It is very difficult to explain clearly. It is also important. They make up the underlying concepts of everything I write.

That’s why I want to draw your attention to a discussion that takes place in the comments of my blog.

Wil points to a live audio and PowerPoint recording of a presentation given by Jon Whitty at the University of Queensland. In 20 minutes he outlines the concepts surrounding projects as complex systems.

Relationship Between Creative Thinking And Play

November 21, 08 //

Designer Tim Brown talks in a new Ted.com presentation about the powerful relationship between creative thinking and play. This 30 minute presentation is very interesting for Project Managers:

  • In the opening minutes he demonstrates that we fear the judgment of our peers, and therefor are embarrassed to show our ideas (perhaps, that is why every PM does exactly the same thing over and over again).
  • He talks about how the workplace and the culture of the company can enhance creativity and with that bring the team towards creating great solutions.
  • And a special note for all you software people out there: check around 15:00: the importance of prototyping and feedback to end users!

Shift Happens: India And China Are Booming. They Must Have Known.

This is a slideshow called Shift Happens. It sums up the “Western” naivety about the rise of India, China and other countries. I am from Europe, and I thought that I was quite aware… but if you read those numbers! WOW! Simply WOW! Just click through the slideshow.

I am actually curious how people from India or China look upon this presentation… You must have been aware… you must have known this for ages :) … or not?

Love to hear your point of view …
