Hello, this module focuses on how to manage projects in a complicated world. The world is changing rapidly and in unpredictable ways. Just consider the changes caused by new technology, worldwide trade and competition, social and political disturbances, and the environmental emergency.
You might think that project management has little to do with these major global matters. However, all kinds of organizations, whether large or small, are impacted by the world they operate in. How a company understands and responds to this complexity influences the projects it chooses to undertake and how it handles them.
This week, we begin by examining frameworks that help us grasp this intricate world. These frameworks guide our actions, responses, and decision-making in the face of complexity.
Next, we delve deeply into various methods and practices for managing projects when faced with uncertainty, instability, and change. These methods include linear approaches and life cycles, often known as the waterfall method, as well as iterative or agile approaches. You will explore the pros and cons of these methods, as well as the ongoing debates about them.
By the end, you’ll grasp how to use and blend these methods effectively to achieve successful project outcomes.
To start off this week, we’re interested in hearing about your experiences. Considering those major global issues like technology, competition, social and political changes, and environmental problems, think about how they impact your organization and the projects you’re involved in.
Feel free to share your experiences with fellow learners in the discussion.

With the emergence of new disease pathogens and re emergence of previously controlled and dormant diseases, disease surveillance using an integrated one health approach has become a major road map from prevention and control of these outbreaks. The key to a successful one health intervention is identifying stakeholders, mapping these stakeholders and prioritising interventions that are best suited for each community considering how diverse and complex communities are and how they all react to certain diseases based on their cultural beliefs and norm. This has made it imperative to involve communities from the beginning of these projects and constantly seek their input and ideas based on their own personal experiences within the community and beliefs and the wealth disparity within these communities. Roles are assigned to members of the communities who act as representatives to foster inclusion in these one health projects. That way interventions are tailored in ways that best suits each community. There are still challenges that need to be addressed especially with culture and spirituality surrounding certain diseases which makes it vital to involve education and religious stakeholders to begin to wean communities off some of these beliefs so they see them from a health and scientific perspective. That way they’re more open to discussing and alerting health authorities about outbreaks of some of these diseases rather than resort to spiritual approach to disease treatment
