Program/Project Management Resource List #10
Revised June 2007
Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library
- Innovation and creativity are key elements of successful project management.
The only difference between creative people and those who believe they lack
such ability may be that the former see themselves as innovators. As journalist/poet,
Edgar Guest (1881-1959) wrote in "It Couldn't Be Done" (cited in
The Manager's Book of Quotations NY: American Management Association, 1989):
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say no till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
This bibliography focuses on the role of management in providing employees
the tools and environment conducive to creativity and innovation. For techniques
to unlock your own creative juices, please refer to PPM bibliography # 28 Creative
Problem Solving. For resources specifically on managing scientists and engineers, please refer to PPM bibliography # 57 Managing Scientists and Engineers. For general resources on organizational culture, please refer to PPM bibliography # 61 Corporate Culture.
