Our the last few days, both at the Stanford
Center for Research on Global Projects open house, and up in Stanford Sierra at the
Engineering Project Organization Society's conference, there has been a lot of interesting discussion about the delivery of global projects. The conference brings together a small set of researchers with a focus on the organization of engineering projects. The contribution that Ray Levitt and I made to the new
Oxford Handbook on Project Management, which explores IT and the management of projects was initiated at the conference two years ago. this book chapter explores the new forms of project management that are breaking the mold of traditional approaches.
