Project Management Version 2

I am convinced that we need to rethink completely if we are to proceed with project management. The current definition creates progressively more problems than it solves. Here are my thoughts (including a continuation of this post):

Is	Version 2
Project Manager	Change Manager – embedded in the ordering organization near the 'customer'. Responsible for selling the new idea - see change-by-sense.
	Deliverables Manager – rooted in the supplying organization. Responsible for delivering the core product - if there is one.
Steering Committee	Coordination Group representing the parts of the organization requiring the project or who should request the new idea. Here are leaders at their best.
Risks	Opportunities - far more focus and energy on opportunities initially which means more time on the creative phase. Risks closely linked to the generation of the product
Change	Common sense - the big change-shows, top-down (often with little effect) is replaced by change-by-sense, bottom-up - eg. Viral Change - see Leandro Herrero.
Stakeholders	Customers - coercion is ruled out. Only if you have something sensible to 'sell' you have a chance. See Common sense above.
Portfolio Management	Strategic coordination, focusing on what is actually critical - say absorbency, degrees of saturation and boiling points of its elements. Specialist knowledge and capacity can always be purchased.
Program Management	Taken over by the coordinating group - see above.
Portfolio	The parts of the strategy currently made operational.
