Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Project Leadership and Society focuses on the multifaceted nature of project management and its societal implications. The journal explores the integration of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) in project governance, risk management, and competence development. It also examines organizational change, strategic implementation, and the role of leadership, including shared and dark personality traits, within project contexts. Furthermore, the journal investigates sustainability transitions driven by projects, the impact of time on project portfolio management, and the dynamics of self-managing and agile teams, including paradoxes of autonomy and control.
