An Organic Approach to Project Management acknowledges that people work best in a natural environment that supports their innate talents, strengths, and desires to contribute. Many organizational environments thwart rather than support these powerful forces in their drive to complete projects on time, on budget, and according to specifications. Applying lessons from complexity science offers a different approach-one that seeks to tame the chaos rather than implement onerous controls. Results are similar to those of a successful gardener: combining the right conditions with the right ingredients creates a bountiful harvest. Through leadership, learning, means, and motivation, learn how to get the right people employing efficient processes in an effective environment. This session describes the path where the results you create through projects become great instead of average, and the outcome contributes to organizational goals instead of going on the shelf.
