N2 - This book offers a theoretical framework and practical guidelines to systematically minimize uncertainty and increase the chances of project success. To paraphrase Henry Ford, transitioning from traditional risk management to mastering project uncertainty implies abandoning the quest for faster horses in favour of driving cars toward your project goals. This book is the roadmap to this transition, with Part One providing a theoretical foundation using systems thinking. Part Two introduces basic strategies supported by practical tools and techniques to master uncertainty through: 1. Raising information awareness 2. Increasing information availability 3. Improving the effective use of information 4. Maximizing information efficiency. This book's highly practical approach, offering techniques that can be applied the next day on the shop floor, will be an essential tool for leaders, project managers, strategists, and policymakers to bring any organization's sustainable vision for the future to life ER -
