"Adaptive Project Management - research"- call for practitioners to participate
Anton Rossouw, a PhD student at Swinburne University's Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship (and a member of PMI) is looking to recruit experienced practitioners to assist him with his research.
His research is for a thesis titled 'Adaptive Project Management' which is about applying project management theory, complexity theory and informed collaborative practitioner involvement into new theory for project managing complex projects. His research is to be undertaken under the guidance of his supervisor, Professor Nita Cherry.
Purpose of Practitioner Involvement
A feature to be used in this research is the application of project management practitioner driven collaboration as the synthesis methodology, utilising recorded personal interviews and group sessions to collect data. To meet the objective of expanding project management knowledge, up to 25 volunteers will be recruited to share their thoughts and opinions before and after two information seminars around the topic of complex project management. The focus will be on the participants' personal experiences, opinions, insights, and learning from their point of view. They are not required to represent, refer by name, or discuss any particular person, project or organisation.
Anyone interested in participating in this research should contact Anton directly by e-mail anton.rossouw@gmail.com or telephone +61 439 802 017.
