KU Leuven seminar about IT, project management, and project complexity - how it gives us innovation, AI, smartphones, smart cars, and vaccines. There are 3 levels of knowledge of processes, frameworks and tools: 1) learning the classical body of knowledge, 2) understanding what process and tool to deploy, how and when, and what to shortcut and opt...

The public sector sales market, i.e. Business-to-Government (B2G) market is large and relevant. It is similar, yet differs in several key aspects from other markets such as retail, consumer (B2C), or Business-to-Business (B2B). B2G is huge, at 2 trillion Euro per year in Europe, but insufficiently researched and it lacks proper tools and methods. P...

AI is a hot topic of conversation due to recent advances in processing power and algorithms. ChatGPT is a generative pre-trained transformer-based general large language model. It creates text based on statistical probability, making it a text-generation machine. AI is not God and cannot take over the world. It does not have consciousness, free wil...

Complexity in engineering, tools for managing complex IT projects. Positive complexity, diversity, acquisitions, corporations and innovation. Technology and society are becoming more and more complex - but we love complexity, because it brings value and benefits; it gives us smart-phones, smart-cars, vaccines. How research teams and large corpor...

The B2G - Business-to-Government market is relevant and distinct from other markets such as B2B or B2C – retail, consumer. B2G is huge, but opportunistic, poorly defined, not researched. While large amounts of data are available, there are no systematic market research tools or methods. This paper proposes a structured, systematic approach to the B...
Conference Paper

The new remote distributed work model raises challenges but also provides major opportunities to contemporary society. This paper argues that the digital space is a different, but not inferior, communication and education environment. It also proposes a practical, structured approach for online collaboration. Digital learning can produce a differen...
Thesis
Full-text available
The world of IT engineering becomes more complex every day. IT products are larger and more complicated, projects are more and more challenging, difficult to manage and control. Complexity correlates with high risk, poor performance and high failure rates; thus the study of project complexity becomes more and more relevant for managing IT projects...
Article
Full-text available
Complexity is ubiquitous in modern engineering and project management. It is traditionally associated with failure. Also, complexity works! It delivers functionality, creativity, innovation. Complexity management contributes to the success of high-risk IT projects, helps better project understanding, allows for better prioritization and planning of...

Conference Paper
Full-text available
Complexity is ubiquitous in modern IT engineering and project management. It is traditionally associated with risk and failure. But complexity also works: it delivers functionality, creativity, innovation. This paper proposes a conceptual framework to support IT Project Complexity Management in a structured, systematic way, consisting of the follow...

Complexity in engineering management, and tools for managing complex IT projects.
Article
Full-text available
As the world of IT engineering becomes more complex every day, the formal study of project complexity becomes more and more important for managing projects effectively, to avoid poor performance and failure. Complexity is not yet clearly understood nor sufficiently defined, the terminology itself being overloaded and over-used. This paper is a syst...
Article
Full-text available
We witness a technology-backed revolution of lifestyle and business culture. Millions of people left their offices at short notice, as organizations close doors, but cannot close business. This poses exciting challenges from a cultural and technical perspective, but also opportunities such as IT tools productivity increase; cost savings from workin...
Conference Paper

The skills required by modern organizations and their experts to remain competitive change faster and faster in today’s world. In order to foster complexity, the learning and eLearning environment of the future is agile in all aspects, starting from the technical infrastructure and the managerial approach to implementation, to the learning content...
Article
We need a serious sdiscussion about quality, ethical and legal standards for autonomous intelligent machines – AI, RPA, bots. This involves both personal and corporate responsibility, and responsibility for processes, products, and data. The responsibility is situational but still lies with the designers and operators of the machine, not with the m...
Article
Full-text available
IT project complexity increases continuously, in synchrony with technological complexity, making projects difficult to manage and control. Despite a growing importance and priority in research, there is still a strong need for solutions to the significant challenges posed by complexity. This paper presents an exploratory qualitative research proces...
Article
Full-text available
Complexity is a new concept in project management that becomes more and more important when dealing with today's projects. The term "complexity" in project management moved from the status of attribute to the status of discipline. IT projects display even more traits of complexity due to the new technologies involved and to the traits of innovation...
