Good summary!

Interesting to map the responses against the classic model.

By the way, I too have used the answers to several of the questions I asked on LinkedIn as a “database” for some consulting work.

Thanks also for listing me in the “credits” at the bottom.

Best,
Terry

One thing in categorising the results as you did: the command/control metaphor did not really distinguish between project management imperatives and change management imperatives. Indeed, probably more than a few of your respondents answered with reference to operational team work rather than project-based or to change work.

I think ’sustaining momentum’ is a different game depending on how much the project impacts on the people side of things. It is probably easier in many ways for a purely technical project as compared with a cultural change where there is no clear vision rationale or justification (and that may lose people their jobs).
