Managing Change in a World of Constant Change

Increasingly Rapid Rate of Change


Technology Adoption
Telephone: 45 years to reach 50% adoption, 75 years to reach 90% Color TV: 13 years to reach 50% adoption, 25 years to reach 90% VCR: 5 years to reach 50% adoption, 25 years to reach 90% Cell phone: 13 years to reach 50% adoption, 18 years to reach 90%

New York Times, 12 Feb. 2008

Growth of Social Networking

When will project management respond to rate of change and explosion of information?
Top Down

Central Control

Baseline Plans

Progress Measurement & Reporting

How does the real world accommodate change?

Avoid it
Deny it Control it

Tolerate it
Encourage it Understand it

Embrace it

What are the human consequences of change?


Dissatisfaction Burnout

Frustration

Stress Destruction

Obstruction

Loss of Experience

Talent Flight

So why do we as project managers resist change?


1 2 3 4 5 6

Messy Reporting is impossible Hard to control Hard work to re-plan Hard enough to build one baseline Cant measure performance

But if change is good why do we resist it?

1 2 3 4 5 6

Loss of authority Loss of control Creates more work for us Our tools dont support change Cant keep all the possibilities in mind Moving target is hard to hit

So maybe we need better sights on our PPM weapons to deliver


Tools that are built to handle collaboration Tools that treat change as inevitable and desirable Experienced people who can use the new tools well
Platform

Processes

Customer Results

People

Partners

Do we really want to know what is going on? Probably not!


Our contracts deny change will happen
We dont really value input. Our tools focus on schedule and cost only Does anyone really use earned value for forecasting?

Where does the scope enter into the control picture? Where are the quality metrics?

A New Proposition: Two Heads Are Better Than One


Collaboration is the key to better results We can have tools that help us collaborate not litigate We can have tools that help us consider possibilities We can have tools that triangulate schedule, cost and scope. We can tolerate more input like our kids do We can live in the moment and trust the outcome

Change Is Just More Work

It happens because we know something now and may want to accommodate it to make something better

Based on what we know now, what should we do?


Lets get more feedback and analysis of schedule, cost and scope

Scope & Quality: Two Sides of the Same Coin


All Of this depends On intelligence
Client

QxS=TxC
Suppliers
Quality x Scope = Time x Cost

Project Team Members

Contractors

Project Management

Thanks to Kieran and Timberlake for QxS=TxC

But Ultimately It Is About People


People need to embrace change People need to seek candor (including bad news)

People need a way to collaborate quickly

People need to seek advice and opinions

Our Only Hope for the Future: Plan, Revise, Re-plan, Revise, Re-plan, Revise
Need to evaluate Revise scope changes Plan relative to the Re-plan quality of the But when we know desired result Revise we need to adjust
Revise
Re-plan Re-plan Revise

We dont know yet what we dont know

We need to solicit contrary opinions and advice

Need to adjust quickly

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Is a Good Example


Project teams can build a single objective and mindset across the team Problems can be solved rapidly by co-located teams Latency (time delay) of decision-making can be reduced Teams collaborate as if they all worked for the project not their individual firms Result is faster delivery and greater satisfaction of the project owner Good examples are growing in number in aerospace and high tech projects

Results of Project Management Embracing Change


Better projects Higher client satisfaction with the outcome Rapid response to changing circumstances Greater success Appreciation for project management for leading the future
