Earlier chapters focused on the preference for planning over plans, the wider need to consider the inevitable role of uncertainty in change programmes, the social element of projects, and the increasing necessity for flexibility, resilience, and agility, in preference to strict organisation and control. They also addressed a need to rethink how projects are initiated and managed.
