Webinar: The Anti-FrAgile Foundations of Project Management – PMI Agile COP

I’ll be giving a webinar on “The Anti-FrAgile Foundations of Project Management” for PMI’s Agile Community of Practice on November 12, 2014 from 10 AM to 11 AM PST, on this paradoxical idea that as the world gets faster, we actually have to slow down and ask more probing questions and possibly tear down all assumptions we thought were correct.  This process is an AntiFrAgile one and is influenced by the infamous Nassim Taleb who promotes the idea that uncertainty can actually benefit us because it provides shocks to our system which actually benefits us rather than harming us.

Here’s a summary:

Epistemology is a branch of philosophical and scientific inquiry that asks “how do we know what we know?”. The speaker is amazed how little this is asked in the majority of books, research papers and industry studies related to project management. The speaker will argue that this lack of inquiry and understanding is the cause of many project failures. We will look at how the field has evolved, the underlying assumptions and a view of where we might be headed. The world has changed and things have to get done faster and better… ironically, this means we need to step back and ask probing questions and not just charge forward. This process is Anti-FrAgile. Attend and be enlightened!
