Project Society: Paths and Challenges

In Project Society, organizing by projects plays a prominent role. This type of society is already here, but projectification continues to lead developments and transformations along a set of paths and trajectories. One way to describe this trend is to say that there is societal organizing in which various types of projects are becoming even more prevalent and diverse. The projectification trend seems to be the result of a variety of mechanisms at work, where a wide set of traditional institutions-ranging from laws to mindsets-is constantly challenged and reformed. Managing, along with the nature of work, are changing and adapting.
