Leading uncertain and complex projects

Does uncertainty mainly consist of risks that should be reduced?

Or is uncertainty and complexity a natural part of projects that can be utilised if you know how?

What does leadership that creates efficient drive in complex projects look like, even though the manager doesn’t focus on governance and control?

In this workshop, we present a successful way to implement projects. It’s all about having clear leadership that supports collaboration and the ability to manage the unexpected. This leads to a project logic that is built on creating frameworks and guidelines, not rules.

The workshop uses interviews with managers from diverse business environments, who successfully manage both uncertainty and complexity, to talk about why these leaders achieve their results. In the interviews we will talk about a common pattern, a “game system” that enables project participants to use their skills and judgment to solve their job assignments while they simultaneously work towards common goals. The workshop is based on the book “Leading uncertain and complex projects”, written by Mats Ragnarsson and Lars Marmgren, and it is given to each participant.
