Kairos: Harnessing time and emergence in complex projects

4/5 ( ratings)

Einstein asserted that time isn't constant, but depends on the speed you’re travelling.

The Ancient Greeks, and Project Managers who deal with uncertainty and complexity on a daily basis, have known this for ages. The ticking of a clock – what we term ‘Chronos’ time - is constant; but ‘Kairos’ time expands and contracts according to the task-at-hand, and needs to be grasped as it flies by. If we get the timing right, we can take advantage of the emergent opportunities – get the timing wrong, and monsters will jump out from behind trees and eat us up.

Kaye Remington is an internationally-acknowledged expert in the field of complexity, and in this eBook, she describes how to grab Kairos by its forelock and exploit it to the best advantage.
