There will be several additional installments over the coming weeks. In these, I will more deeply consider the dilemmas each of the three underlying PMI theories (Transformational View, Management By Planning, and Thermostatic Control) bring. I doubt that I will be proposing a replacement theory, but I do hope to bring a degree of mindfulness about the insidious effect tacit theories have upon us, and how we might condition ourselves to wake up in time to see useful variation from the prescribed path. Every theory is wrong, but some are more situationally useful than others. Warmly, David Schmaltz Jose: Thanks for the comments on the first installment of Unlearning Project Management.
