Projects Are About Humans. Deal With That!

Way-New Collaboration: What I Meant To Say



Earlier this month Ted.com published a presentation by Howard Rheingold called "Way-New Collaboration". He talks about how the old paradigm of command-control is being replaced by Way-New Collaboration. He connects his story with social dilemma's like Prisoners Dilemma and Tragedy of the Commons. This is the best presentation I've seen that is telling the story I am trying to tell!" Why didn't I come up with this :(


Help out this student by taking his survey

This week I got an email from Matthew Miller, a student from Loughborough University, with a request to put out the word about his questionnaire.

"This dissertation aims to investigate the level of success within IT projects within the last 3 years . The results will then be analyzed to find any common factors to success and failure, to see if some projects are destined to fail and to see if certain industries, type of projects or methodologies/models are more likely to fail. The final outcome will be statistically supported advice for IT project managers. This research is about both project success and failure. It is through understanding failure that we can begin to improve. As such, please do not view failure as a negative in this context and please include projects that have failed as these are very relevant to this study. "

If you participate, you will get a copy of the results.

Take the survey:
