Main Article Content
Abstract
This systematic literature review investigates the paradigm of proactive project management in turbulent environments, addressing the limitations of traditional reactive approaches. The study identifies and explores four key themes: dominant themes in proactive project management, effectiveness of proactive strategies, the role of organizational culture and leadership, and challenges and barriers to proactive project management. Focusing on anticipatory strategies, risk management, and strategic planning, the research unveils a comprehensive framework for proactive project management, emphasizing the importance of foresight, adaptability, and seizing opportunities. The literature consistently affirms the positive impact of proactive strategies on project outcomes, showcasing enhanced adaptability and improved overall performance. Organizational culture emerges as a critical factor, with a focus on innovation, continuous learning, and adaptability fostering an environment conducive to proactive approaches. Effective leadership is identified as pivotal for successful implementation, emphasizing the need for endorsement and support of proactive initiatives. However, the study acknowledges challenges such as resistance to change, lack of awareness, and the delicate balance between proactivity and flexibility. Despite these obstacles, the findings advocate for a shift towards proactive project management, offering valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners seeking to navigate and thrive in the complexities of contemporary project landscapes.
