Abstract
P2M is the first version for Project and Program Management in Japan. Its major paradigm is based on the epistemological approach in opening wider participation to complex issues in the contemporary world. A specific finding of P2M is characterized by "mission driven management of projects" or a program which harnesses problem solving and value creations observed in the interface between technical system and business model. Heuristics, cognitive psychology, gaming simulation, value assessment, and systemic vision are new arenas for deepening P2M framework. P2M is a pioneer to get in touch with the prospective issue by way of unique program management. This paper focuses on its basic thought, and its significant expansion.
