Abstract

In the past years of turbulence, we are seeing a social-acceleration resulting in increasingly volatile, unstable, transient organisations (Rosa, 2009). In this unpredictable, ‘high-speed’ context, the project ‘format’ provides a seamless, temporal, fixed-time-boxed fast-way to ‘fit’ rapidly-changing organisation re-prioritised targets. The purpose of this paper is to understand and navigate complex aspects of projects by deploying a systemic approach based on socio-technical and social acceleration (SA) principles. We adopt systemic principles by encompassing three dimensions of analysis: macro, meso and micro. Here we propose and further enrich a framework by testing complexities PM face specifically in developing-economies.
