Home > Articles >
Most people are very familiar with Winston Churchill but may not be familiar with his “agile” approach to project management and his skills as a PM in summer of 1940. Part 9 looked at how Churchill laid out a strategy with short- and long-term objectives. This article discusses how he set up a governance framework to transform the United Kingdom. The term governance as used in industry (especially in the information technology sector) describes the processes that need to exist for a successful project.
Churchill inherited a governance framework but knew it was flawed, as he faced insistent criticism that there was no central direction of the economic effort. His disparate organizations consisted of government, military and civilian groups, which were well-organized and highly institutionalized structures but had unique cultures, acted autonomously and were used to working in their own ways.
