Case: The Concorde case Step 1: Student needs to define the ‘case’ to develop your PfL. This assignment requires the development of your Project for Learning (PfL) and, the examination of concepts/theories that will be used to analyse your PfL A: You must use your own work experience to develop a brief account of a project with which you are familiar. You must select a particular experience in which you were either directly or indirectly involved. This case has to be suitable for analysis using some of the theories/concepts presented in this course. What is important is that the student has at least some ‘insider’ information to be able to analyze PfL. Names of people and companies must remain anonymous. Step 2: You need to summarize your ‘case’. you need to present a 2-page summary. Please attach this summary as an appendix. I suggest focusing on the following aspects:  Describe the main characteristics of the project in terms of people, technology, resources and institutions involved.  What people expected from the project in terms of cost, time and performance?  What were the real outcomes?  Was there too much difference between the expected and real outcomes?  Who initiated the project, and why?  Who were the main stakeholders of the project? Step 3: (i) Select one or two (max.) of the 3 models presented in Theme 1 (8-features model, Cynefin or Diamond model); (ii) explain/justify, using academic references and your PfL, why/how the selected model(s) will help you to analyse your PfL. Note, you do not need to apply the selected model in Case. Theme 1. Models for managing complex projects: · Project complexity- features and challenges · The 8-features model · The Cynefin model · The Diamond model Theme 2. Implementation of Complex projects · Change management processes · Models of change · Managing the unexpected Theme 3. Power assisted project management · Organisational politics & project management · Dimensions of power · Analytical tools to cope with political behaviour · Managing & influencing stakeholders Theme 4. Knowledge Management in complex projects · KM strategies · Mechanisms to transfer knowledge in complex projects · Learning in complex projects Step 4: You need to select one theory/concepts from themes 2-4 (see above) that you think will help you to explain your PfL (Theme 1 will be used in A). Then, you need to develop a brief review of the literature. Here you need to (i) explain and justify why the selected theories might help to understand your PfL; (ii) outline the main arguments, challenges, tensions as well as the strengths and weaknesses of theories/concepts selected. Remember, this section is not a simple summary of some literatures. You need to use academic references to develop this step.
