There’s nothing so permanent as temporary

Prof Darren Dalcher introduces another fascinating topic in new article

18 June 2015 – Dallas, USA and London, UK – “There’s nothing so permanent as temporary: Some thoughts on adapting project structures” is the title of Prof Darren Dalcher’s latest article, his introduction to a new “Advances in Project Management” series article by Jonathan Whelan in the June edition of the PM World Journal. Darren’s new article has now been posted in the PM World Library.

As project management increasingly looks to other disciplines such as business analysis, system engineering and systems management, enhancing our gaze to encompass business architecture can lead to new conversations, models and insights about balancing the temporary with the permanent.…”
