PROJELERİN YÜRÜTÜLMESİNDE ÇEVİK VE AÇIK İNOVASYON YAKLAŞIMLARININ KULLANIMI: PROJE YÖNETİCİLERİ ÜZERİNDE BİR ALAN ARAŞTIRMASI

Abstract

Çeviklik ve açık inovasyon birbirlerini destekleyen iki kavram olmakla birlikte proje yöneticilerine de oldukça katkı sunan yaklaşımlardır. Farklı metodolojiler olarak gözükse de başta işbirliğine ve bilgiye dayalı yaklaşımlar olması ve olaylara benzer perspektiflerden bakarak yenilikçi çıktılar elde etmeyi amaçlamaları açık inovasyon ve çevikliği birbirine yaklaştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada proje yöneticilerinin projeleri yürütürken çevik ve açık inovasyon yaklaşımlarına ilişkin farkındalıkları ölçümlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarında iki yaklaşıma ilişkin de bir farkındalığın ve kullanımın oluşmaya başlandığı gözlemlense de bu iki yaklaşımların kullanıldığı projelerin belirli düzeyde birbirinden farklılaştığı ortaya çıkmıştır.

USE OF AGILE AND OPEN INNOVATION APPROACHES IN EXECUTING THE PROJECTS: A FIELD STUDY ON PROJECT MANAGERS

Abstract

Agility and open innovation are two concepts that support each other as well as being approaches that contribute a lot to the project managers. While they seem to be different methodologies, the fact that particularly they are collaborative and knowledge-based approaches and that they aim to attain innovative outputs by looking at the events from similar perspectives bring the open innovation and agility close to each other. This study strived to measure the awareness of the project managers about agile and open innovation approaches in executing the projects. While it was observed in the study results that an awareness about and use of the two approaches started to form, it appeared that the projects in which these two approaches are used differed in a certain extent from each other.
