Thesis abstract:

This research is focussing on the strange and unusual events of the year 2020 - 2021, with the Covid 19 global pandemic, a “one in one hundred year” pandemic with nothing to compare it to, except the Spanish flu of the early 1900’s in Australia and the world. It is against this backdrop of a pandemic, that the author is researching what trends and changes this pandemic may have caused in the project management industry, according to the industry perspectives. A qualitative series of interviews will be designed and conducted with selected various companies from industry in NSW, that rely upon and utilize project management as their primary business model, to better understand the industry perspective. These interviews will be developed into data sets and analysed, which when reviewed will produce a summary data set, that will best illustrate data that would contribute to this research question.
