Transforming Communication in Leadership and Teamwork – Why should computer
scientists care?
Abstrakt: Numerous sources report that the major reason for ICT-project failure
are people- rather than technical issues. Thus, in order to improve project
success, the most evident thing to do seems to care about the human factor in
ICT projects. This influential “soft”, “fuzzy”, and “complex” factor, however,
has tended to be overlooked, such that a number of research gaps at the
interface between software engineering and human sciences became apparent and
need to be filled. In this talk, my objective is to raise awareness of the
salience of communication issues in ICT projects and illustrate, what can be
done (or what computer scientists, in particular, can do) scientifically and
practically, to fill the research/practice gaps and concurrently improve
communication, leadership, and teamwork in ICT projects.
