Sfumato as a Metaphor for Creating a Common Understanding in Complex Projects

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter or book article › Scientific › peer-review

Abstract

Sfumato painting technique is proposed as an artistic metaphor for creating a shared understanding about safety and risk in complex safety-critical multi-stakeholder projects. The aim is to illuminate a mindset and suggest approaches for softening potentially detrimental effect of sharp dysfunctional boundaries between and within different project parties, which might impair quality of communication, coordination, and collaboration and impact safety.
