managing projects in novel and unknown environments. From Europe's
leading business school, this book shows how to manage two
fundamental approaches that, in combination, offer the possibility
of coping with unforeseen influences that inevitably arise in novel
projects:
* Trial-and-Error Learning allows for redefining the plan and the
project as the project unfolds
* Selectionism pursues multiple, independent trials in order to
pick the best one at the end
Managing the Unknown offers expert guidelines to the specific
project mindsets, infrastructures, and management methods required
to use these project management approaches and achieve success in
spite of unforeseen obstacles. This book equips readers with:
* Causal explanations of why unforeseeable factors in novel
projects make traditional project planning and project risk
management insufficient
* Directly applicable management tools that help managers to guide
novel and high-uncertainty projects
* Real-world case studies of both successful and unsuccessful
approaches to managing high uncertainty in novel projects

"Managing the Unknown, is an important book, and it was a revelation for me. It takes a fresh look at project risk management, which is a vital skill in developing a new product, but goes beyond conventional risk management in critical ways." (Journal of Product Innovation Management, October 2006)
