DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stephen Pryke\, Senior Lecturer at UCL\n\nTitle: Usi
 ng SNA to understand self-organising communication and information excha
 nge networks in a £600BN rail infrastructure project\n\nI will present t
 he findings of a 2 year research project carried out with Transport for 
 London.  We used SNA to analyse functional relationships in a £600M rail
  infrastructure project. Our study took place during the design phase of
  the project and the client for the research project was also doing a se
 parate PhD under my supervision- an auto ethnographic study of routines 
 in the project management context. \nThe presentation will outline the f
 indings of a pilot study which established the principle of ‘dysfunction
 al prominence’. The main study moved on to exploring aspects of self org
 anizing in projects.  There are some important implications for the way 
 in which major infrastructure projects are procured and managed in the f
 uture. \nThe research project was funded by central government through t
 he Innovate UK programme – Knowledge Transfer Partnership initiatives.  
 The study used a collaborative data analysis process involving research 
 team and research collaborators.  This coupled with the complementary do
 ctoral research provided some very rich data analysis.\n
