Technological Innovation and Change

This chapter encompasses two interrelated aspects: technological change and innovation. The interplay between technological change and innovation can significantly impact project complexity. The technological innovation and change dimension has significant implications for various aspects of project management, particularly in planning, risk management, and stakeholder engagement. The chapter also explores key strategies for effectively exploring projects characterized by technological uncertainty and innovation. In the end, successful management of technological innovation and change in complex projects requires a combination of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and adaptability. By developing these capabilities and implementing strong management strategies, project managers can improve their skills to deliver successful outcomes in technologically complex and innovative project environments.
