Project Complexity Assessment

To an extent, every project – indeed every future venture - has an inherent degree of complexity. We live in a constantly changing world. No-one can predict the changes in the external ‘PEST’ (Political, Economic. Social, Technological) environment with anything like 100% certainty.

Experiential Learning

Experiential Learning is not a luxury, but an absolute necessity in any project management toolset – and the greater the complexity, the greater the need. This demands that a formalised and managed learning cycle should be institutionalised in every organisation that seeks to execute complex projects.
