Strategic people project management in the context of the delivery of a generic equipment space project for cellnet: Magisterarbeit

Thesis (M.A.) from the year 1999 in the subject Sociology - Work, Education, Organisation, grade: Pass, Lancaster University, language: English, abstract: This dissertation discusses the importance of strategic people project management in critical cultural change projects. Appropriate people management in projects is as important as the application of tools and techniques. People make things happen. Their input into the delivery of goals and objectives is essential. These can be achieved by sharing knowledge, good communications and working as one team. I argue that nobody is perfect but a team can be. People in projects really matter. Tools and techniques assist project managers to manage their projects better but they are not a panacea to successful project management. They are simply there to be used as means to assist the project manager to manage his projects better.



My approach to strategic people project management proved highly effective to bring together the people elements of this project. Project Managers should familiarise themselves with and adopt the learning outcomes of this dissertation and consider applying these in their projects in future.
