Navigating Project Complexity to Build Resilience in International Development Projects

linkedin twitter facebook Request to reuse this  

This newly published PMI-funded research seeks to explore what makes international development projects (for example, World Bank-funded projects) complex to manage and how to identify adaptive approaches to build resilience within the project ecosystem, enabling recovery from disruptions to improve project success. Led by Dr. Sanele Nhlabatsi and Professor Lavagnon Ika the research confirms that international development projects are characterized by interrelated structural and sociopolitical complexities, leading over time to emergent complexities and thus project disruptions; hence the need for resilience practices for project recovery. The research identifies a complexity framework to manage these tensions and highlights a series of practical implications for key stakeholder groups.
