ABSTRACT
Projects and project management are now widely recognized by organizations as being essential to achieving their strategic objectives. Achieving the strategic objectives often involves change, and that change needs managing in a different way than managing the routine work of the organization. The change can take several forms:
• It may be an engineering construct, a new building, new infrastructure or a new product or production machinery;
• It may be an information system, involving new information and communication technology (ICT);
• Or it may be a social construct, new processes, a new organization’s structure or new skills in the work force.
