But when it comes to a full website redesign, it’s not just what’s on the surface that counts. A full website redesign involves a lot of moving parts. And if you've already got traffic coming to your site, the last thing you want to do is ruin a good thing just because you wanted a facelift.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched.

Here's an extract from "Chapter 8: Human Behavior and Complexity," Terry Cooke-Davies, in Aspects of Complexity: Managing Projects in a Complex World.

It’s common to find multiple project management approaches within different departments or teams. In the absence of established templates or guidance, teams have to improvise every time a new project is launched. Unfortunately, this practice hinders project success and can negatively affect how end-users feel about the final deliverables. Using an agreed collaborative tool with configurable templates is a key step towards standardizing project management processes.
