  1. MANAGING DEVELOPMENT PROCESS(ES) SustainactivePrague 2014 Kalevi Paldanius

  2. Development? • The act of developing • Evolution of man; evolution of the species • Progress; advancement; growth; expansion • Development of individual, group, team, community, society, work, products, services, technic/technology, economy, human rights, relationships etc. • “Development is change. All change is not development.”

  3. Development? • Sustain Development? Ecological, economical, social and cultural sustainability • Want to develop something? > You need activity, to be active • Becoming developer needs deeds • One deed is to take part to sustain active IP • How are you going to develop yourself during sustain active IP? • What are you going to develop in your case study?

  4. Project as a development tool • Project: a plan, a scheme, a design, a piece of work undertaken by a student or group of students to supplement and apply classroom studies • Project: to throw or shoot forward; to transport (oneself) into imagination; to predict or expect (something) based on known data; to communicate effectively; to express one’s personality

  5. Project as a development tool • From an idea (e.g. business plan) > to the project • What kind of? • Management depends on the project type: • Product development • difficulty in defining the target; • management by dividing into operations • Activity development Project (inside the organization): increase the efficiency of management and functions • Reform the organization • Development of ICT-systems • Rationalize activity • Introduction of new working methods and tools • Education programs • ETC

  6. Project • Work which is done once • Problem & planned solution • Problem: difference between the present situation and the target where something prevents catch up the difference • Is not trivial

  7. Defining objects • Workplace activity settings: transformed material objects are relatively easy to identify • “Object” can be either material or symbolic (always both) > materiality allows it to become a focus of joint activity; we can perceive, handle and act on objects • Symbolic aspect of the object: allows increase of understanding of the phenomena under investigation • Object refers to the “raw material”/”problem space” > activity is directed at it

  8. ARTIFACTS TOOLS & PRACTICES OUTCOME SUBJECT OBJECT COMMUNITY: same general object DIVISION OF LABOUR: horizontal division of tasks & Vertical division of power and status VALUES RULES & CONVENTIONS Human activity system (Engeström 2002)
