Abstract

Project management of large projects is becoming more and more complex. The level of uncertainty is going up and the environment appears to be more chaotic than before. However, what appears to be chaotic also has a pattern, there is order in disorder, even if we are not able to notice them or describe them.

There are patterns everywhere, patterns in the natural events, life forms, human creations. Understanding of these patterns helps us to have better anticipation of the future events, we just need to notice them.

Fortunately, we humans have inherent ability to see patterns, where we don’t see we create patterns.
 
3 key takeaways:
