A Study on the Human Resource Development of Program Managers Using the Art Thinking Theory

Abstract

We are currently living in an age of VUCA [Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity] with an un-certain future. In such an era, programs to solve social issues and to create new values require questioning the existing norms, unlearning is necessary in order to get out of the comfort zone, and “Art Thinking” that creates original ideas is attracting attentions. In this paper, we will clarify the mindset and skills necessary for the human resource development of P2M program managers from prior research, and propose a new method for developing the mindset and skills required of P2M program managers based on a survey and analysis of the process of developing “Art Thinking.”
