Dr. Jan Wickenberg, AstraZeneca ,SwedenJan Wickenberg, born 1962, has been involved in IT projects in the Swedish pharmaceutical industry since 1988. In 1998 he was offered one of Astra´s four doctorate student positions in the FenixFirmResearcherSchool. Being an engineer, he initially pursued engineering answers to the question of why IT projects so seldom become successful. He soon became puzzled when finding ready answers to this important question in the social science shelves of the academic libraries, and redirected his research to finding ways for industry to improve its management of knowledge and uncertainty in IT projects. In 2004, he defended his thesis “Exploring the Shadows of Project Management" at the Departement of Project Management at Chalmers. His original engineering quest, to why organizations seem unable to actually work the way they aspire, is answered by the illustration on the cover of the thesis. Jan Wickenberg is currently employed at AstraZeneca as project coaching manager, deploying the knowledge creation method developed in his research.
