Let’s keep talking on our little joint attempt and continue our imaginative travel through the Ethnopark – the museum of accessible and live history. Let’s try «to drop in for tea» to our ancestors, who created by their own hands the usual life they lived within, thousands and thousands years ago. That life that we call the history today.
High precipitous bank of the Volga running beyond the horizon from the one side, and dense coniferous forest with its dark sparkling needle playing on the dawning sun from the other, and wide unmown meadow and rich grass covered with drops of dew on the third side. It is possible to keep this harmony by placing the Ethopark on the fourth side.
The world consists of systems – small and huge ones. All of them come into being, progress, blossom out and die. Business represents a complicated system, and what first it’s so complicated with is the fact that interacting elements are people there.
How to make possible the quality regeneration of business?
All man’s life is a calm train or rapid mixture (as one likes) of different projects. It’s not just a work, but life. Something influences us and we influence something. Or, for all that, is any “something”, first of all, the result of people’s actions, and not just circumstances juncture independent of people? We influence people through changing something in our day-to-day life. But what do we manage working in the project?
Just another report of the next project execution’s step has been arrived. There are lots of letters, too many figures, graphs and diagrams. And there are much more execution indices and effectiveness figures. Also there is something about terms, budget and risks. Then, comparison of the plan and the fact is everywhere. Will you read such report like this? I’m sure, you won’t.
Have you ever tried to work the four together by one computer? Truly said, even the two together is already hardly convenient… And what to do if usual workdays pass mostly in collective work? And moreover – with mass of information requiring collective review, edit and discussion. There is need for a certain suitable set of tools… The number of soft/hard ware as well as interface imperfections of existing solutions on the market don’t let using them in collective work. But, we consider, here the real solution is.
Today we put into practice what will very soon become history. The same thing was concerning all the long move of many centuries before us. But we don’t create crock piles. We live. History – that’s movement, actions, life. The life of numerous tribes and peoples residing in separate settlements and vast territories.
We all live, communicate, work. What’s around us? The reality. But what is the reality?
“Bookish” determination of reality is quite simple: “Reality is the whole world with all the multidiversity of its forms”. By this, it’s to admit: there are the objective reality and the subjective reality.
What if the final goal of the project you’re carrying out is designing of the new cell phone model? At the same time, you need to use a machine as compulsory toll, which makes yield of wooden bricks with coffee cup sizes, and with the obligatory condition of full absence of verbal communication with other project participants. Is it absolutely unreal situation? Or?
Let’s imagine the situation. You manage the project. You manage any project. You manage terms, payments, and risks. What makes your management “lively”? It seems that nothing does. But what if to take a look on the situation from the other side, and to imagine your management as an influence on live people. It’s about influencing not only people you work with, but also people, whose personal reality is changing by moving toward the project’s goal.
Project communication is such communication among participants and stakeholders within work on project leading to attainment of required project eventual result and project objective carrying out. Effective communication is an indispensable result for network-centric structure of the project by LMP method.
Methodology of «Lively management of projects» is based on systems approach, implying the systems theory usage in project management. A project is regarded as a set (hierarchy) of all project participants and relations between them, consequently project management – as initiation and realization of purposeful managerial influences on all project participants and stakeholders to get project goals attained.
It turns out too often that in practice outstanding works in business come as logic result of strategic thinking and planning.

Once they said of my path: You’ll meet ocean of death, And I turned back my way. What I see ahead since: Wild and blind path extends…” Akiko Yosano, “Cowardice”
