Skills of Radical Project Managers
"The ultimate risk
is not taking a risk." –
James Goldsmith

"Without order nothing can exist – without chaos nothing can
evolve."
Radical projects are experimental
as

experimentation
is the key to
discovery. The radical project manager
must

Overcoming project
discontinuities: The occurrence of unanticipated crises may
force the project to regress to a less mature level. The radical
project manager should work toward establishing both formal and
informal project legitimacy in the eyes of the organization to
counter organizational resistance to
radical innovation.
-
Improvising and
taking tactical detours: The
levels of uncertainties may rise and fall throughout the
project. The project manager must be able to
→
solve problems creatively,
to
take risk, and to
→

Loose-Tight Leadership
-
Preparing a project for
acceptance by a manufacturing partner – an existing business
unit, a new business unit, or a
spin-off company.
It is difficult and unusual for
radical
innovation projects to reach the level of maturity expected
by most business units before handoff.1 The receiving
unit wants to be confident that:
-
the technology will work
-
the product can be produced
reliably
-
the product has features and
attributes
desired in the marketplace
-
→
customers
and applications are well enough understood so that
→
sales,
→
marketing and distribution functions can be implemented
successfully
-
projected
→
revenues can be
achieved.
A "transition team" may be used to
accelerate the project through the final stages of the
maturation process.1
