Doing things right and doing the right things Time and timing in projects - 2002

This paper discusses the relationship between time and projec management in the constex of clock-time. It is argued that clock-time (chronos time) is the ruling factor in efficiency and timely moments (kairos, time) are crucial in questions of effectiveness. This disctinctions is accentuated by the importance in managing project organisations to do the right things in that such organisations are less institutionalised than more permante (going, concern) organisations and have to deal with unplanned situations more frequently as compared with permanent organisations
