Welcome to the 17th Meeting of the Project Management Interest Group (PMIG) 9 March 2009
…relationships matter… By making connections with one another, and keeping them going over time, people are able to work together to achieve things that they either could not achieve by themselves, or could only achieve with great difficulty. People connect through a series of networks and they tend to share common values with other members of these networks,; to the extent that these networks constitute a resource, they can be seen as forming a kind of capital. (John Field, 2003:1)
