Acknowledgements Many of the ideas and concepts incorporated into ProjectCraft originated during the course of the Rethinking Project Management Network. To the members and speakers who participated in this network I offer my gratitude and thanks. My thanks are particularly due to the network Principal Investigator, Dr Mark Winter of the University of Manchester, with whom I worked on the network 'sensemaking', to convert the multitude of stories and emerging ideas into a simple and coherent picture.
I also offer my thanks to the many people with whom I have discussed project matters over a number of years.
